Dominion Day
Dominion Day is a commemoration day of the granting of national status in New Zealand, and was the same in Newfoundland until 1949 and Canada until 1982.
Canada
Dominion Day was the name of the holiday commemorating the formation of Canada as a Dominion on 1 July 1867. The holiday was renamed to Canada Day by Act of Parliament without a quorum on 27 October 1982.
Newfoundland
Dominion Day was the name of the holiday commemorating the formation of Newfoundland as a Dominion on 26 September 1907 (same day as New Zealand) and was celebrated until confederation with Canada in 1949.
New Zealand
Dominion Day is the name given to 26 September, the anniversary of the day in 1907 when New Zealand was granted Dominion status within the British Empire.[1] No longer a statutory (bank) holiday, the only current official observance of the day is as a Provincial Anniversary Day in South Canterbury and is celebrated on the fourth Monday of September.[2] There is support in some quarters[citation needed] for the day to be revived as an alternative New Zealand Day, instead of renaming Waitangi Day, New Zealand's current national day.
