When was 'Canada Day' first celebrated?

  1. July 1, 1983

  2. July 1, 1867

  3. July 1, 1900

  4. July 1, 2000

The correct answer is: July 1, 1983

Canada Day, also known as Canada's national day, is celebrated on July 1st each year. This date marks the anniversary of the Constitution Act, which united the three colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a single Dominion within the British Empire in 1867. Therefore, the correct answer is B, not A, as that date falls 16 years after the first celebration of Canada Day. Similarly, options C and D are also incorrect as they fall even later in the timeline of Canada's history.
