O Canada was proclaimed as Canada's National Anthem on July 1, 1980.
It had originally been written in French over a century earlier, to be sung in celebration of St. Jean-Baptiste Day, June 24, 1880. The first English version was sung during the Royal visit in 1901. Several changes in wording were made over the years before the "official" version was proclaimed.
It is interesting to note that the English words and the French words to O Canada have significantly different meanings.
