Canada Day Marked In Belgrade

27/6/2023

“Today, the connection between Serbia and Canada is celebrated because the two countries have a lot in common, said Canada’s ambassador to Serbia, Giles Norman, during a reception organised to mark Canada Day. “We have many Canadians who are making progress, bringing back to Serbia the acquired knowledge and technical skill and applying it in Serbia, so we want it to continue to increase,” Ambassador Norman told Tanjug and thanked everyone who came to the reception. National Canada Day is celebrated in memory of July 1, 1867, when the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick proclaimed the federal union of Canada, which the British North America Act of the British Parliament granted dominion status.
