(I composed this last night but didn't post until this morning. BUT, blogspot is still showing a June 30th date/time...boo hoo.)
You can click here to find a Canada Day party near you or here to find out all the things you need to know to celebrate the day properly. To get you started, here are the (English) lyrics to the Canadian National Anthem:
O Canada!Finally, here are just a few reasons why I celebrate Canada's birthday each year:
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
