Have you ever started talking to someone and within seconds you realize where they’re from? I was recently at a conference and I stopped to chat with a brand representative. Within the first 10 seconds of speaking, he stopped me to ask “You’re Canadian?” I asked how he knew so quickly and he said it was because of the way I pronounced the word “about”. I didn’t realize I had a bit of an accent but this American picked up on it right away! For all our Canadian pals, here are some fun ideas for a Canada Day celebration. In this post you’ll find free Canada Day printables along with recipe ideas that contain two of Canadian’s favourite things – maple and bacon!
