In what year was Dominion Day changed to Canada Day?
1867
1982
1901
1967
The correct answer is: 1982
Canada became a country on July 1, 1867, and the day was originally called Dominion Day. In 1982, a new law was passed to officially change the name to Canada Day. Option A (1867) is incorrect because that was the year Canada became a country, not the year Dominion Day was changed. Option C (1901) is also incorrect because it was still known as Dominion Day at that time. Option D (1967) is also incorrect because it was the 100th anniversary of Canada becoming a country, but Dominion Day had not yet been officially changed to Canada Day at that time. Therefore, the correct answer is option B (1982).
