Celebrate Canada Day this July 1st!
Whip out the maple syrup - it's Canada Day today! July 1 is an opportunity to celebrate the culture of this North American country, and there are plenty of exciting ideas to consider. Why not throw a Canada Day party, or go for themed family dinner recipes?
The reason why Canada Day takes place on July 1 is because the three colonies within the nation joined together to form Canada on this day in 1867. Events take place around the world, including in London, where a massive gathering takes place in Trafalgar Square. This is significant because of how Canada is in the Commonwealth, and was once part of the British Empire.
Finger food is a wonderful idea for this national holiday. If you're looking for Canada Day party ideas, consider making finger food such as cupcakes and muffins, or getting a BBQ fired up and making the most of the pleasant weather. Feel-good food such as burgers, fries, crepes and pancakes or even a special Canada Day cake will certainly add to the celebratory mood.
