National Tartan Day HistoryNational Tartan Day in Canada commemorates the day in 1320 when Scottish independence was declared with the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath. This day also recognises and celebrates Scottish heritage in the country and their role in the development of Canada. This involves not just the achievements of the Scottish ancestors, but also the inherent root of the tartan fabric symbolism, which is steeped in history and community identity. The history of National Tartan Day in Canada goes back to 1986, when the Federation of Scottish Clans in Nova Scotia sought to recognise the historic and ongoing contributions of Scots in Canada. Initially, it was only celebrated in Nova Scotia, but in the following years, other provinces recognized the day too. In 2010, the Canadian Government unanimously passed a resolution to observe National Tartan Day nationwide. Diversity and multiculturalism are core Canadian values, which make this day relevant as it honours the Scottish-Canadian community and shares their rich culture and traditions with the broader population. National Tartan Day in Canada is observed in various ways. Celebrations often include bagpipe music, highland dancing, sporting events and Scottish food. Communities may raise awareness about the day through educational events, demonstrations of Scottish customs, or cultural fairs. National Tartan Day is annually observed on April 6th, offering a chance for Canadians to reconnect with their Scottish roots and appreciate the vibrant cultural tapestry that is Canada.
