Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is the national day of Canada. A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of July 1, 1867, the effective date of the Constitution Act, 1867 (then called the British North America Act, 1867), which united the three separate colonies of the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a single Dominion within the British Empire called Canada.[1][2] Originally called Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), the holiday was renamed in 1982, the year the Canada Act was passed.[3] Canada Day celebrations take place throughout the country, as well as in various locations around the world, attended by Canadians living abroad.
Hidden along a nicely groomed part of the Virginia River Trail. I parked at the end of the Waterline (now known as International Place) in the parking lot of the last building to access the trail. Bonus on the way in was picking up Z's Tree Cache and Off Road Bro Cache on the way. Cache is a samll container containing a little Canada Day swag, a Canada Day trackable, Canada Day pencils, sharpener and a log at the time it was hidden.
