Sir John A. Macdonald
Day is held every year
on January 11 marking
the birth of Sir John
Alexander Macdonald
(1815-1891), the first
Prime Minister of Canada
and one of the Fathers
of Confederation.
Every January 11,
Canadians organize
activities and events in
his honour. Teachers and
youth leaders often use
this day as an
opportunity to teach
young people about our
first prime minster and
the founding of our
country.
Sir John A. Macdonald
Day was established as
an Act, the Sir John A.
Macdonald Day and the
Sir Wilfrid Laurier Day
Act, which came into
effect in March 2002.
