Hattingdon celebrates Canada Day in a Canadian flag inspired red and white puffy cap with large upturned brim. Vivian named the hat Zoe.
Canada Day is often referred to as “Canada’s birthday”, particularly in the popular press.
Wikipedia, the fount of all knowledge (wink), tells us:
The term “birthday” can be seen as an oversimplification, as Canada Day is the anniversary of only one important national milestone on the way to the country’s full sovereignty, namely the joining on July 1, 1867, of the colonies of Canada (divided into Ontario and Quebec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a wider British federation of four provinces.
Canada became a “kingdom in its own right” within the British Empire, commonly known as the Dominion of Canada.” End Quote
Best wishes to Canada and all of her wonderful citizens.
