Good morning everyone! Today in 1867, Queen Victoria gave royal assent to the British North America Act. Canada became the first Dominion of the British Empire the following July 1st. In 1947, the British government amended the act to allow Canada to draft its own constitution, but it was not patriated until 1982. Also today in 1792, English explorer George Vancouver reached Juan de Fuca Strait and later explored what are now Vancouver Island and the city of Vancouver and in 1949, the House of Commons approved the NATO treaty. Have a great day!
