Democracy Day (Canada)
Democracy Day is a project initiated by Fair Vote Canada "to celebrate and reflect upon Canadian democracy."
On August 2, 2011, Fair Vote Canada launched Democracy Day and Democracy Week in Canada[1] annual events encouraging participation, education, and celebration of Canadian democracy. In its first year events were held by different groups[2] in cities across Canada.[3] Fair Vote Canada designated Democracy Day to be Canada's celebration of the United Nations International Day of Democracy[4] and Democracy Week to be the seven-day calendar week in which Democracy Day falls[5] (September 15 each year). A number of Canadian non-profit and governmental organizations participate in and promote the events, including Elections Canada.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
