O Canada



O Canada!
(Canada's National Anthem)


O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons' command
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The true North strong and free!
From far and wide
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land, glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Did you know that the Canadian flag, as we know it, was not implemented until February 15th 1965, as proclaimed by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Prime Minister Lester B. Person (1964) wanted a distinctive national flag to represent our country.


 Happy Canada Day!
