Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day!
The Hansen Ohana extends are best wishes for a happy and safe Canada Day to our Canadian friends, clients and family. As many of you know two of our ohana were born and raised in Canada – it’s another reason we feel we are well suited to best meet the needs of Canadian clients. Clients often comment on how smooth the process is and how comfortable we are able to make them during the property purchase or sale process. In addition to our vast experience with international buyers and sellers in general and multigenerational local industry knowledge we have team members who understand and have been through the Maui home buying and selling process from Canada first hand.

A little trivia about Canada Day (formerly known as Dominion Day):

Canadian Confederation, the birth of Canada as a nation, took place on July 1, 1867, and originally included the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec. There are now 10 provinces and three territories in Canada.

Province / Territory Date Entered Confederation
Alberta September 1, 1905

British Columbia July 20, 1871

Manitoba July 15, 1870

New Brunswick July 1, 1867

Newfoundland March 31, 1949

Northwest Territories July 15, 1870

Nova Scotia July 1, 1867

Nunavut April 1, 1999

Ontario July 1, 1867

Prince Edward Island July 1, 1873

Quebec July 1, 1867

Saskatchewan September 1, 1905

Yukon June 13, 1898

We’re all familiar with the red and white Candian flag with the maple leaf in the middle, but it wasn’t until 1965 that Canada had a flag of her own.

Happy Canada Day!
