Today Canada is comprised of 10 provinces and 3 territories. The provinces include Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Québec, and Saskatchewan. The territories are Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon. When Canada was formed in 1867, four provinces joined together: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Québec.

Many popular things have originated in Canada.

Popular children’s book character Winnie the Pooh was based on a real bear from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Basketball fans can thank Canadian James Naismith for inventing the game in 1891.

Canada Day 150

Celebrating Canada in Cornwall Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - It is Canada’s 150th birthday this year, as I am sure you have already heard, and the celebrations in Cornwall and SD&G will be extraordinary this July 1st.

In Lamoureux Park there will be fun for kids, parents and all members of the community.

There will be entertainment from musical acts such as this year’s headliner Paul Deslauriers.

“These rides and bouncy castles will be free so every parent can make sure their child can take part,” said Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry MP Guy Lauzon.

At the start of the day, there will be a free breakfast at the Cornwall Legion for 150 Francophone seniors and 150 Anglophone seniors.

“We do that for seniors because they built this community and we have events for the children because they are the future,” said Lauzon.

Everything kicks off in Cornwall at 12 p.m. with an opening ceremony with delegates from around the City.

There will be musical acts and performances

throughout the day in the park and there will ages, great bands, dancers and special acts that if that isn’t enough we are going to light up the be a presentation of Canada 150 medallions to will keep people on their feet.

MP Guy Lauzon said that he is very lucky to be MP for his riding during such an important Canada Day celebration.

“It makes me so proud, but the overarching emotion is humility,” he said. “To think that I am part of this wonderful country and to have the honour of being a Member of Parliament on Canada’s 150th birthday, how much better could it get?”

Lauzon says that he has observed that this year’s celebrations are being treated with special reverence.

“You can tell people feel the pride and businesses especially have been so generous,” he explained.

Cornwall’s Canada Sesquicentennial Committee has been working hard to pull off a fantastic celebration.

“Not only are we celebrating our sesquicentennial but we will also be bringing forth a special day that is designed to bring families together,” reads a press release from the committee. “We will have activities for kids of all

C

anada has an extensive history with its national flags. While the widely recognized maple leaf flag is a universally recognized symbol of Canada in the 21st century, it took many years for Canada’s national flag to reach that status.

Nearly 400 years passed before Canada officially adopted the Canadian Flag or Maple Leaf Flag (l’Unifolié). This flag consists of a red field with a white square (Canadian pale) in the center, upon which an 11-pointed red maple leaf sits. Although Canada was first explored in the 15th century, and declared a self-governing entity in 1867, the famed maple leaf didn’t come into existence until 1965. Through the years, various flags were raised above Canadian soil.

The first flag used was the St. George’s Cross. This was flown when explorer John Cabot landed in Newfoundland. At the time, the cross was representative of England. When Canada was settled as part of France and dubbed “New France,” two flags gained national status. One was the Royal Banner of France. This featured a blue background with three gold fleurs-de-lis. A white flag of the French Royal Navy was also flown from ships and forts and sometimes flown at land-claiming ceremonies.

Through the 18th and early 19th centuries, while under British rule, Canada went through a series of flags that bore the British ensign — the Union Jack. The “Red Ensign” and the “Royal Union Flag” were flown in various locations. By 1921, a “Canadian Red Ensign,” featuring the Union Jack and a shield of arms granted to

Your room Your style

Canada, was authorized to fly on federal buildings in Canada and abroad until Canada adopted its own national flag.

In 1925 and then again 20 years later, committees were appointed to resolve the national flag issue. People didn’t want to offend Britain with the removal of the Union Jack. A flag consisting of the British Union Flag in the upper left corner with a gold maple leaf in the bottom right corner was suggested in 1945. However, legislators could not commit, and many Canadians were split on the flag debate. Many still held ties to the Union Flag. Others liked the Red Ensign. Also, Québec viewed its provincial flag, the Fleurdelisé, as its national emblem.

In 1960, the flag issue again was brought to light, as Canada was threatened by a growing separatist movement in Québec. Many thought a national flag may unite the country during this time. An all-party committee was established in September of 1964. Seven Liberals, five Conservatives, one New Democrat, one Social Crediter and one Créditiste were part of the committee. According to Library and Archives Canada, some 2,000 flag suggestions were submitted in 1964 and examined by a committee.

Three flags were selected during a process of elimination. A single-leaf design presented by George Stanley eventually was adopted.

On January 28, 1956, the royal flag proclamation was signed by Queen Elizabeth II. The flag was officially flown at Parliament Hill for the first time on February 15, 1965. Today, the maple leaf flag is one of the most recognizable national flags in the world.

Canada Day 150

How Canada came to be laying the foundation for the nation that exists today.

While France maintained a heavy influence in North America, British colonies along the Atlantic seaboard helped Great Britain establish a stronghold in North America. In the 1700s, France and Great Britain battled for control of North America. In 1759, the British defeated the French in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham at Québec City. The Seven Years War ended in 1763, and France surrendered its land in North America to Britain.

Canada flourished, but it was a series of fragmented British colonies.

Much like in the United States, Canadian colonial dependence began to give way to a desire for increasing autonomy. Colonists noted the conflict between French

for the king of France. Cartier heard two captured native guides speak the Iroquoian word kanata, meaning “village.” While the name of Canada began appearing on maps, the region was largely known as “New France,” thanks to French influence and claims.

Prior to European influences in the 16th century, Canada was populated by aboriginal peoples who had been living on the land for thousands of years. Early interactions between settlers and natives were tense, with various wars springing up. In addition, life as natives knew it changed dramatically upon the arrival of European traders and colonists. According to the Government of Canada, large numbers of aboriginal inhabitants died after being exposed to diseases brought by the Europeans. Ultimately, natives and Europeans formed strong economic, religious and military bonds in the first 200 years of their coexistence in Canada,

anada is a diverse and culturally rich place to live. The second-largest country by land mass in the world, Canada is comprised of 10 provinces and three territories.

Canada is a relatively young country — around 90 years younger in founding than the United States of America, its closest neighbor — and will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2017. However, Canada experienced a rich history prior to its official founding. Here’s a look back at how Canada came to be.

During the Age of Exploration, European nations sent out exploratory parties to find lands they could claim as their own. North America was an area rich in natural resources, and both Great Britain and France were interested in capitalizing on those resources.

In 1497, John Cabot was the first European to explore Canada. Cabot also was the first to draw a map of Canada’s East Coast.

Jacques Cartier of France also explored Canada in the early 1500s, and claimed land

and English-speaking areas of the country, a need for a common defense, the desire for a national railroad system, and a need for more opportunities to sell Canadian goods, and ultimately a confederation was born out of these needs.

Fearing more conflict with the United States after the American Revolution and support of the south during the Civil War, Britain didn’t want to have a separate colony it would have to defend on its hands. As a result, on July 1, 1867, the British North America Act established the Dominion of Canada as a self-governing entity within the British Empire.

Canada began with four provinces. It would take more than a century to add the other six provinces and three territories that make Canada the vast nation it is today.
