Question: 1 / 1030

When was 'O Canada' proclaimed the national anthem?

1975

1980

In 1980, 'O Canada' was officially recognized as the national anthem of Canada. Prior to this, it was commonly used as the unofficial national anthem, but it wasn't until 1980 that it was officially proclaimed as such.

Option A (1975) is incorrect because while that was the year that 'O Canada' was first legislated as the country's national anthem, it wasn't officially proclaimed until 1980.

Option C (1967) is incorrect because while that year did mark the centennial anniversary of Canada's founding, it was not the year in which 'O Canada' was proclaimed the national anthem.

Option D (1990) is incorrect because while it was the year in which "God Save the Queen" was replaced with 'O Canada' as the country's official royal anthem, it was already recognized as the national anthem in 1980.
