I am happy to read how much many members enjoy the U.S. 4th of July holiday. We here, in Canada, celebrate Canada Day the 1st of July. Canada Day is the day we celebrate Canada's independence from the British commonwealth.
We celebrate our holiday much the same way you celebrate your holiday with fireworks and picnics and of course, the muchly appreciated day off!

This was taken at a friend's house. They had a Canada day party. They had about 100 flags all over. It looked good.
