Happy Dominion Day

 

As in July 1st. 2015.

For most of Canada’s history – beginning in 1867 – our birthday was known as Dominion Day and that was the name I grew up with.

Regardless – We live in one of the best countries in the world – we are so fortunate for peace, prosperity, health, clean water, good food, open spaces and our many freedoms.

This though did not come free; from the battles of the War of 1812 to the First and Second World Wars – many of our ancestors paid the supreme sacrifice in order to ensure that we enjoy the life we have today.

We, the living, must ever remain vigilante to protecting and preserving our way of life but for today – let’s take the time to fully enjoy our Country and give thanks for it.

God Bless
