    Happy Canada Day!

    We all sang it after the last hymn at church today - "O Canada" IS a hymn, and was originally written in French.

    but the question is....did you sing it in French?

    well, in school we were taught it in Fench AND English. in elemtry there was day 1 and day 2(which would be differnt scheduals) and on day 1's we would sing it in English and on day 2's we sung it in French. I live nowhere near Quebec and I did not go to french immersian, so here anyway thats how it was done at any school lol

    Happy Canada Day!!!

    I noticed on most of the boards I'm on, no one has created threads saying Happy Canada. Quite sad, we're always forgotten....

    Anyway.... just for good measure, once again.....

    HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!

    I just wanted to let you know that I did start a "Happy Canada Day" thread on the Cats General board, but the title is "Season's Greetings" (my standard holiday-greeting thread title), so you don't know until you look at it.

    And I just amended the title so it does tell you what it's about!

    A happy post-Canada-Day to you!

    Happy belated Canada day!
    I had such a great time at the celebration this year.
    And the fireworks were amazing.
