CANADA DAY

Canada Day is on 1 July. Every year on this day, Canadians celebrate the start of their country in 1867. There are celebrations in every town and city in Canada. It’s a holiday, so people don’t work on Canada Day, and students don’t go to school.

The day usually starts with a big breakfast. Later there are parades and dancing in the streets. A lot of people play sports on this day, too. In the evening, people don’t usually have dinner in their houses – they have a barbecue in their gardens. At night some people go out to city squares or parks to watch fireworks or listen to music.

Canada Day is an enormous celebration of Canadian history and culture. A lot of people call it ‘Canada’s birthday’. Like a birthday party, Canada Day is usually noisy – but it’s also a lot of fun!
