In Sechelt, Mr. Feshchuk never used to pay attention to Canada Day. “It was just another day on the calendar to me,” he said. In Thunder Bay, too, the city has decided to skip the fireworks and focus on a reconciliation theme. “Now, we are weaving together a new narrative that we are all one and should celebrate as one.” But doing so hasn’t come without controversy, a constant bedfellow of Canada Day since its inception as Dominion Day in 1879.
