30 Red & White Ideas for Canada Day

June 21, 2021

Canada Day is July 1st! Celebrate with 30 some red and white DIYs, recipes and decor ideas.

July 1st is Canada Day!

No, I am not Canadian, but I thought it would be fun anyway to share some great DIYs, recipes and decor ideas to celebrate Canada.

I have a few more ideas on my Seasonal: Canada Day pin board if you’re interested!

What is Canada Day?

I will explain this to the best of my ability just from my knowledge of history (my favorite subject in school).

Originally, Canada was considered a colony of British North America, along with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. On July 1st, 1867, a dominion (or territory) was formed via the British North America Act combining these three colonies into just Canada, and separated Canada into the two provinces of Quebec and Ontario. This act served as Canada’s constitution, and the day was named Dominion Day.

In the Spring of 1982, British Parliament approved the Canada Act that declared Canada an independent country, and the day was then changed to the current Canada Day.

How is Canada Day Celebrated?

Canada Day is celebrated very similarly to the USA’s 4th of July with parades, BBQs with family and friends, displaying of the country flag and colors and fireworks. I know that each city celebrates a little differently, but can also say the same about the USA.

Let’s See Those Canada Day Ideas!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind On Rockwood Lane and EyeLoveKnots! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.

I've been shopping for a noodle bowl with chopstick holder for my niece. I really like this design.

Black OUGES Top (aff link)

When I received this black Ouges brand top in my September Amazon Wardrobe box, I was pretty happy. I have a similar top that I received in an earlier box that is the same brand, and I love the fit of it. I think the raglan style gives me a sort of confidence. I am a 42″ bust wearing the size Medium. There are several other colors available too!

It's lip balm season, and these lip balm holders are excellent! They come on a swivel hook that can be attached anywhere for easy access, and to make sure you don't lost your lip balm at the bottom of your bag. I personally have one of these. The quality is great, and Candace is lovely to work with! PLUS they come in 11 colors!
