National Day of Canada

Earlier today Mayor Daniel Lurie invited the Consul General of Canada to San Francisco City Hall for the Canada Day Flag Raising Ceremony to honor and celebrate the enduring friendship, shared values, and vibrant cultural ties between San Francisco and Canada.

The good folks at the consulate arranged for a variety of individuals to be invite to the event.  Branch President Michael Barbour was pleased to be on hand to represent the Royal Canadian Legion.

For folks who haven’t been to San Francisco City Hall before, it was quite the place.

Bonne Saint-Jean à tous !
From all of us at the Canadian Studies Program at UC Berkeley: happy Saint-Jean Day to our friends from Quebec!

Held every June 24, the Fête nationale, also called la Saint-Jean, is the official holiday of Quebec. Dating back to 1834, it is a day for québécois(es) of all backgrounds to honor their shared heritage and celebrate their unique cultural identity.

This year, Canadian Studies is proud to support Hildebrand Fellow Erin Dunbar, whose research explores how 19th-century rural novels (romans du terroir) shaped popular understandings of language and identity in Quebec. The Fellowship has enabled her to spend this month conducting archival research in Montreal and Quebec City. Her research will help expand our understanding of early Québécois literature and its place in a global context. We are also supporting Jennifer Kaplan, who is researching how LGBTQ+ communities in Montreal are adapting French grammar to accommodate diverse gender expressions.
