"" – The Canadian National Anthem Crazy Holidays to Celebrate in July… Originally, "O Canada" was a patriotic poem by Sir July 2nd: World UFO Day Adolphe-Basile Routhier, a judge. Calixa Lavallée, the well-known Canadian composer, was July 4th: Sidewalk Egg Frying Day commissioned to set it to music, and it was first sung July 6th: International Kissing Day in 1880 during a national convention of French in . The French words to the July 10th: Teddy Bear Picnic Day song have remained the same to this day. July 11th: Slurpee Day The English version, however, has a more interesting history. When Routhier's lyrics were first published in July 13th: National French Fry Day Toronto, a doctor named Thomas Bedford July 14th: Bastille Day Richardson translated the words into English and changed them to fit the melody. Two years later, the July 26th: National Talk in an Elevator Day first edition of the Canadian version of Collier's Weekly held a competition to rewrite the English July 27th: Bagpipe Appreciation Day lyrics to the song. Mercy E. Powell McCulloch won the competition with her entry. July 29th: National Lasagna Day

The words were rewritten again and again, but one version gained the most popularity. It was written by lawyer Robert Stanley Weir in 1908 in honor of the 300th anniversary of the founding of Quebec City. It was amended in 1913, 1914, and 1916 and published in an official form for the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation in 1927. A slightly modified version of the first verse of Weir's poem was proclaimed as Canada's national anthem in 1980.
