Where is Port Dover
We celebrate wide ranging events, some dating back to
antiquity. Events range from Victories over our foes,
New Years,
Valentines Day,
St. Patrick's Day,
Easter (the Resurrection of our Saviour),
Mother's Day,
Victoria Day,
Father's Day,
Canada Day (the birth of our nation),
Thanksgiving,
St-Jean-Baptiste Day (Quebec),
Remembrance Day,
Christmas (the birth of our Saviour);
all the way to personal events
like Birthdays, Graduations and Anniversaries and even Groundhog Day.
If you take a closer look, you will find Canadians
virtually always have something to celebrate.
Canadians are just naturally happy people.
A good reference for
Canadian Holidays Celebrations Ceremonies and Heritage.
