Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is the national day of Canada, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary o
f the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 (today called the
Constitution Act, 1867, in Canada), which united thr
ee British colonies into a single country, called Canada, w
ithin the British Empire.[1
Frequently referred to as "Canada's birthday", particularly in the popular
press,[4][5][6] the occasion marks the
joining of the British North American colonies of Nova Scot

federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the
process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867. Canada became a kingdom in its own right o
n that date,[n 1][8][9][10][11] but the British Parliament kept limited righ
ts of political control over the new country that were shed by stages over
the years until the last vestiges were surrendered in 1982 when the Constitution Act patriated the Canadian constitution.[n 2]

With most countries using the Gregorian calendar as their main calendar, New Year's Day is the close st thing to being the world's only truly global public holiday, often celebrated wi th firew orks at the stroke of midnight as the new year starts. January 1 on the J ulian calendar currently corresponds to January 14 on the Gregorian c alendar, and it is on that date that followers of some of the Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate the New Year. New Year's Day is a postal holiday in the United States.[1]
The Romans dedicated this day to Jan us, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. After Julius Caesar reform ed the calendar in 46 BC and was subsequently murdered, the Roman Senate vo ted to deify him on the 1st January 42 BC < span>[2] in honor of his life and his institu tion of the new rationalized calendar.[3] The month originally owes its name to th e deity Janus, who had two faces, one looking forward and the other looking backward. This suggests that New Year's celebrations are founded on pagan traditions. Some have suggested this occurred in 153 BC, when it was stipulated that the two annual consuls (after whose names the years were identified) entered into off ice on that day, though no consensus exists on the matter.[4] Dates in March, coin ciding with the spring equinox, or commemorating the Annunciation of Jesus, along with a variety of Christian feast dates were used throughout the Middle Ages, though calendars often continued to display the months in columns runni ng from January to December.[citation needed]
