My first recollection of feeling "Canadian" was as a young child. I took a train from Vancouver to Ottawa. It was aboard that train over a period of many days that the size and diversity of this country came to form an image in my mind. That Canadian feeling disappeared for many years until my early thirties where I found myself shoveling snow at minus 30 in Alberta. Rather than feeling defeated by cold I was empowered by a sense of National Pride, that indeed it was the challenge of a cold winter which makes us Canadian, and without hesitation proceeded to clear the snow from each house on the street, Gordon Lightfoot’s "Alberta Bound" on repeat in my mind.

O-Canada celebrates our Canadian identity, our accomplishments, heroes, landmarks and guilty pleasures.

"…from far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee…"
