Adventures of Link: It's Canada Day

Where: Canada
July 1, 2008 at 5:48 PM | by pbb | 1 Comment

We've been so focused on July 2 and July 4, we almost forgot that today's Canada Day. Happy 141st birthday!

To mark the day, Prime Minister Stephen Harper gave a speech at Peace Tower in Ottawa, and a formal flag-raising ceremony was also held on Parliament Hill.

There are some big things coming up for Canada this year: Quebec City will celebrate the 400th anniversary of its founding (two days from now!), British Columbia will turn 150 and Nova Scotia will celebrate 250 years of representative government. Parties: Always a good excuse for a visit!
