Roll Call, Canada Day, July 1, 2009
Good morning ABA Family!! Happy Canada Day!!!



c/p
(Fête du Canada) is Canada's national holiday is on 1st July , marking the beginnings of the present form of the country on July 1, 1867. It is a federal holiday celebrated on July 1, annually (see exception below), by all provincial governments and most businesses across the country.

Canada Day is often referred to as "Canada's birthday," particularly in the popular press. However, some of the constituents out of which the Canadian confederation was formed called themselves "Canada" prior to 1867, and most of the present provinces of Canada did not join the federation until well after that year. This demonstrates the evolutionary nature of Canada's road to independence, which did not actually end until the country became a sovereign kingdom through proclamation of the Constitution Act, by Queen Elizabeth II, in 1982. Thus, Canada Day is an anniversary of the granting of Royal Assent to the British North America Act, as opposed to a national birthday or a day marking Canada's independence.

It's time to celebrate in Canada, hope you all have a wonderful time!!

Happy Birthday to our dear friends Beefeater and Conniel, born on Canada Day!!! Hope it's one of your best ever.
Best wishes to those of you that are celebrating your special day today, plus Canada Day!!
