Let us go in for having a day of it. We need scarcely remind our readers that the great center of attraction is the celebration of Confederation date for North Ontario at least will be at Prince Albert, where the celebrations will be conducted on a grand scale. Where the candidates are parliamentary honours will discourse on the duties advantages and prospect of our then altered condition. Where the volunteers will turn out and go through some of those evolutions necessary to be known in order to defend successfully our rights from invasion. The lover of the “Turf” will have an opportunity of enjoying his favourite sport. While athletic games in every variety cannot fail to please the entire crowd. The stirring strains of music will be well supplied by the bands. It is to be a National Day. Let us have a national gathering. On that day we will cease to be English, Irish, German, Yankee or Scotch. Everyone who wishes to cast in his lot with the Dominion becomes from that day a Canadian. Let us young and old have a universal turnout and strive who can do most honour to the occasion. Direct quote from the Ontario Observer, June 27, 1867 Canada 150 Years of Confederation!
