Having lived in Canada for 4 years I still remember Canada Day celebrations. So I had to tune in to the special Canada Day program of Pop Shop Radio via 9670 kHz, Channel 292 in Germany. My reception report was awarded with a nice eQSL reflecting the spirit of a typical Canada Day event.
Canada Day is seen as the birthday of Canada. It marks the anniversary of Canadian Confederation — the day in 1867 when the British North America Act united three separate colonies (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada) into a single country called the Dominion of Canada. Originally referred to as Dominion Day it was renamed into Canada Day in 1982. It symbolizes the birth of modern Canada as a self-governing nation, although full independence came gradually later.
