Why did Dominion Day changed to Canada Day?

Dominion Day was changed to Canada Day in 1982 to reflect a more inclusive and modern identity for the country. The name change was part of a broader effort to recognize Canada's sovereignty and independence, especially following the patriation of the Constitution. Canada Day, celebrated on July 1, marks the confederation of Canada, and the new name emphasizes national unity and pride. The rebranding aimed to foster a stronger sense of Canadian identity among citizens.
