In honor of Canada Day, we released five new Canadian cities! Our prints are the perfect addition to your celebration, weather it's cards for invitations, decor, or gifts, we've got what you need for your Canada Day party!

 On July 1, 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain, and a federation of four provinces: Nova Scotia; New Brunswick; Ontario; and Quebec. The anniversary of this date was called Dominion Day until 1982. Since 1983, July 1 has been officially known as Canada Day.
