Canada Day is the official anniversary of the founding of Canada which took place on July 1st, 1867. Every year this occasion of the founding of the country is commemorated celebrated on July 1st and hence, Canada Day.
That's equivalent to asking why the United States celebrate July 4th. Canada day is celebrated because Canada was formed a country; Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick all become Canadian provinces but still under Queen Elizabeth's reign. It wasn't until 1982, her majesty allowed Canada to become independent, therefore becoming a federal state with a parliamentary democracy but still a constitutional monarch. Though Canada became a country on July 1, 1867.
