Dominion Day was the name of the holiday commemorating the formation of Canada as a Dominion on 1 July 1867. The holiday was renamed late at night by act of parliament without a quorum on October 27, 1982. Thus Dominion Day became Canada Day.
So while we call it Canada Day now... we fondly wish everyone who drops by today a Happy Dominion Day, an ode to tradition.
Happy Birthday Canada!
