Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: Canada Day is primarily about history

By Lisa Goudy

Parties, activities, social outings and fireworks have been a part of Canada Day celebrations for a long time. It’s something that should rightly be associated with the day celebrating Confederation, which occurred on July 1, 1867.

But I also think we could all use a reminder of the real reason we celebrate Canada Day and that can be summed up in one word — history.
