Each year on July 1st. Canada commemorates the historic beginning of Home Rule for Canada, and what better reason to celebrate?

This year, Canada Day falls on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 with many Canadians taking Monday off, as well -- to parlay the holiday into a freewheeling 4-day weekend.

In July, the easiest party menu would be heading out to the backyard and fire up the grill. For party libations, do the patriotic thing witht Labatt's and Molson's, two of the country's biggest beer brands.

Keep kids happy with juice and soft drinks, and arrange for a Canada Day crafts table to keep them entertained. For dessert, there's nothing better than celebrating with a homemade Canada Day Flag Cake that's as easy to make as it is delicious.
