Lightroom Tuesday!
A few interesting things about Canada Day from
Wikipedia:
On June 20,
1868,
Governor General
the Viscount Monck issued a royal proclamation
asking for Canadians to
"celebrate the anniversary of the
confederation."[7]
However, the holiday
was not established statutorily until 1879, when it
was designated as Dominion
Day, in
reference to the designation of the country as
a Dominion
in the British North
America Act. The holiday was initially not dominant
in the national calendar; up to the early 20th
century, Canadians thought themselves to be primarily
British, being thus less interested in celebrating
distinctly Canadian forms of patriotism. No official
celebrations were therefore held until 1917 —
the golden anniversary of Confederation — and
then none again for a further
decade.[8]
Essentially British, eh? Alot changed from then to
now, I can assure you.
And luckily, its still hasn’t turned to summer yet
here in Seattle and I can wear my Toque as a
commemoration. Grrr.
PS. The Maple Leaf above illustrates the various
tartans for each province/territory. Yes, we still
have territories up north. I guess that is in case
something were to go nutty, so we could disown
them.
