Tuesday is Civilians' Day, when civilians are asked to prepare meals on a food ration system and restaurants to serve meals identical with those served to Canadian soldiers. Dominion Day will see garrison parades and special military demonstrations.
July 4 is set aside as a special United Nations Day. Large celebrations are planned in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa.
