Happy Canada Day! Canada Day celebrates the anniversary of the Constitution Act, which merged three territories (Province of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) into a single federation called the Dominion of Canada in 1867. There is no better way to celebrate than with some festive red and white foods. Enjoy!
