For 153 years, July 1st has been reserved for Canada Day celebrations. However, this July 1st was very different than all that have come before it and will hopefully lay the foundation for all future celebrations. The fact is, that for many people, Canada Day has never been a day for celebration. Rather it has been a reminder of the fact that Canada remains on the unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Indigenous peoples.
