Happy 157th Birthday to Canada!

Canada Day (Originally call Dominion Day) celebrates the anniversary of 
Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867.  The three separate 
colonies of The Province of Canada (modern day Ontario & Quebec), Nova Scotia, 
and New Brunswick were united into a single dominion within the British Empire 
called Canada.

Manitoba & Northwest Territories would join in 1870.
British Columbia would join in 1871.
Prince Edward Island would join in 1873.
Yukon Territory would join in 1898.
Saskatchewan & Alberta would join in 1905.
Newfoundland would join in 1949.
And finally Nunavut was formed in 1999. 


This concludes your brief & simplified Canadian history lesson.
