In 1845, during the reign of Queen Victoria, May 24, the queen’s birthday, was declared a holiday in Canada.

After Queen Victoria’s death in 1901,  the parliament made her birthday an annual holiday. The law initially called for the holiday to be celebrated every year on May 24.

On this day, one of the most expressive celebrations occurs in Victoria, a city in the province of British Columbia, named after the British Queen, who organizes a big parade through the city. In Ottawa, Canada's capital, fireworks mark the date during the Canadian Tulip Festival.

It's a day to celebrate all the wonderful things that make Canada, Canada.

I have chosen the history of the flag Canada since it seems interesting to me since they changed from the English flag to their own flag taking into account that they previously were a colony of the UK.

The design that we can currently see was approved in 1965, replacing the English flag on February 15, which, from that day, is celebrated every year as a holiday: the National Bands of Canada.

The current flag is made up of two red rectangles on the sides, a white square in the center and a red maple leaf adorning the center.

The Canadian flag is known by various names. It is generally called the 'National Flag of Canada'. In English it is known as 'The Maple Leaf flag' due to the central leaf. Its name in French also refers to the maple leaf, being called 'l'Unifolié' (the flag of a single leaf).

Canada is famous for its magnificent landscapes and uninhabited lands. The views of the unspoiled and natural environment are breathtaking and are made up of beautiful lakes and rivers. There are three oceans, mountains, plains and some of the most attractive cities in the world, such as Toronto. Canada's vegetation is very diverse ranging from warm temperate grasslands and forests, to cool boreal and mountain forests, to cold treeless arctic and alpine tundra, to freshwater and marine aquatic vegetation.

Something that shows us that Canada is a country that takes nature very much into account is its flag. The most distinctive feature of the Canadian flag is the maple leaf  with eleven red tips on a white background that adorns the center. This drawing refers to the nature and flora of the country, representing the ten species of maple trees native to Canada. At least one of these species grows natively in each province, and was designed by Jacques Saint-Cyr.

So come for the throne if you want. But with close to 100 unexpected flavors under our flaky crust and over five decades in the game, we'll continue to change the world one blue box at a time.

Scroll to get the TRUE story of Pop-Tarts quest for Crazy Good.

Kellogg chairman William E. LaMothe, a.k.a Bill, had a vision. A vision of transforming a delicious breakfast into a toaster-ready rectangle that could go anywhere. So he hit up "Doc" Joe Thompson, and his kitchen crew to create an ingenious hack on toast and jam.

It was called "Fruit Scone." But that sounded terrible. So we took inspiration from the Pop Culture movement of the day and renamed it "Pop-Tarts."

Cleveland, Ohio, hit the world with the orig Fab Four when we released our four original flavors: Strawberry, Blueberry, Brown Sugar Cinnamon & Apple-Currant.

Since literally no one has ever seen a currant, we dropped that flavor. Years later it came back as the fan favorite Apple Pop-Tarts.

The beluga, or white whale, is a type of toothed whale found in Canada’s Arctic, Hudson Bay and St. Lawrence estuary.

They are born a brownish color and unlike most whales, a beluga has seven vertebrae in its neck that are not fused, allowing it to turn its head in all directions.

The beluga whale is one of the smallest species of whale,  growing up to four or five meters long.

Belugas have sharp teeth, no dorsal fin, and a spindle-shaped body that is wider in the middle and tapers toward the ends, an adaptation that helps it swim under the ice in its Arctic home.

Belugas can dive to depths of almost 1,000 meters, and stay underwater for more than 20 minutes at a time.

The famous Viking Leif Eriksson and his tribe of Scandinavian sailors were the first Europeans not only to reach the shores of Canada, but to set foot in North America. Around 1000 A.D.

Around A.D. 1000, the medieval Norse (Vikings) established the first European settlement, on the northern coast of Newfoundland, but they only stayed for a brief period. At the end of the ninth century, a gradual migration began across the North Atlantic.

Vikings had a settlement in North America exactly one thousand years ago, centuries before Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas, a study says. Scientists say a new dating technique analysing tree rings has provided evidence that Vikings occupied a site in Newfoundland, Canada, in 1021AD.

After the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte’s fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), the Royal Navy ruled the waves. The British Empire, which included Canada, fought to resist Bonaparte’s bid to dominate Europe. This led to American resentment at British interference with their shipping.

Believing it would be easy to conquer Canada, the United States launched an invasion in June 1812 but they were mistaken. Canadian volunteers and First Nations, including Shawnee led by Chief Tecumseh, supported British soldiers in Canada’s defence. In July, Major-General Sir Isaac Brock captured Detroit but was killed while defending against an American attack at Queenston Heights, near Niagara Falls, a battle the Americans lost.

Lieutenant-Colonel Charles de Salaberry and 460 soldiers, mostly French Canadiens, turned back 4,000 American invaders at Châteauguay, south of Montreal. the Americans burned Government House and the Parliament Buildings in York  ,Major-General Robert Ross led an expedition from Nova Scotia that burned down the White House and other public buildings in Washington.

To defeat Nazism and Fascism, the Allies invaded Nazi-occupied Europe. Canadians took part in the liberation of Italy in 1943–44. In the epic invasion of Normandy in northern France on June 6, 1944, known as D-Day, 15,000 Canadian troops stormed and captured Juno Beach from the German Army, a great national achievement shown in this painting by Orville Fisher.

Approximately one in ten Allied soldiers on D-Day were Canadian. The Canadian Army liberated the Netherlands in 1944–45 and helped force the German surrender of May 8, 1945, bringing to an end six years of war in Europe.
