In which month does Canada Day occur?

Canada Day occurs in July, specifically on July 1 each year.

The date marks the anniversary of Canadian Confederation. On July 1, 1867, the British North America Act united the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into the Dominion of Canada. The Province of Canada later became Ontario and Quebec.

The holiday was originally called Dominion Day. Parliament made it a statutory holiday in 1879, and the name changed to Canada Day in 1982, the year Canada's Constitution was patriated. A common mix-up is to treat Canada Day as the date Canada became fully independent; sovereignty developed gradually, including through the Statute of Westminster in 1931 and the Constitution Act, 1982.

When July 1 falls on a Sunday, July 2 is generally the statutory holiday under federal law, although celebrations are normally held on July 1. Communities across Canada mark the occasion with concerts, parades, ceremonies, picnics, and fireworks.
