A salute to the national flag Canada Day celebrations usually involve fun activities for the whole family, such as dance and musical performances, children’s shows, and face-painting. Many larger Canadian towns also organize a flag-raising event, an important ceremony that brings a moment of gravity to the festivities. HERE ARE SOME INTERESTING TIDBITS ABOUT OUR FLAG: • Some vexillologists (flag specialists) say that the Canadian flag is one of the most beautiful in the world because of its simplicity in colour and design. • The red and white flag featuring the stylized maple leaf was raised for the first time over Parliament Hill in Ottawa, in 1965. • Red and white were designated as Canada’s official colours during the proclamation of the Royal Arms of Canada by King George V in 1921. • The Canadian flag was first planted on the summit of Mount Everest in 1982 and appeared in space for the first time in 1984, on the uniform of Canadian astronaut Marc Garneau.
The red and white flag featuring a stylized maple leaf was raised for the first time over Parliament Hill in Ottawa, in 1965.

The first Canada Day Most historians agree that two key events precipitated the creation of the Canadian Confederation. First of all, America was in the middle of a civil war, with the British Crown taking the side of the southern slave states. Confronted with this situation, the United States threatened to annexe Canada. From the American point of view, the unification of all the British North American colonies would give them greater military and financial striking power against England, the mother country. Another key event was the end of the preferential tariff given by London to its colonies. In 1846, faced with the loss of this reciprocity treaty, Canada was forced to turn towards the United States for trade. A new reciprocity treaty was signed in 1854, this time with our neighbours to the south. It expired a short time later, in 1866, and was never renewed. Following the loss of these two major trade markets, plans were made to unite the six independent colonies that formed British North America. On March 29, 1867, Queen Victoria approved the British North America Act, and the Dominion of Canada came into effect on July 1 of the same year.
The last time that Canada underwent a geopolitical change was in 1999, with the creation of a new territory, Nunavut.

“The question really should be what is there not to love about Campbell River. After living in other communities on and off Vancouver Island I have learned to really appreciate all that we have to offer in beautiful CR. Where else can you enjoy the scenery on your way to work, go golfing, ski, fish and PLAY HOCKEY with the CR OLDTIMERS!!! all in the same day. The beautiful scenery and friendly community spirit is something to be proud of. I know I am.”
