We hope that the celebration of Canada Day celebrates the anniversary of the Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, with the passing of the British North America Act, 1867. It is important to note that although a British dominion, Canada gained an increased level of political control and governance over its affairs, the British parliament and cabinet maintaining political control over certain areas, such as foreign affairs, national defense, and constitutional changes.
