   EVENTS NEXT MONTH (22):  
   
Canada Day - July 1 @ 01:00
Happy birthday to Canada, now 158 years old!
   
PEI Joins Confederation - July 1 @ 01:00
Today marks 152 years since Prince Edward Island joined the Canadian Confederation in 1873.
   
Battle of the Somme - July 1 @ 01:00
From this day in 1916, to November 18, Canadians were engaged in the Battle of the Somme. The battle helped to cement their reputation as hardened, first-class troops who gave their all in the quest for victory.
   
Battle of Beaument-Hamel - July 1 @ 01:00
Canada day has a different meaning for Newfoundlanders, who observe the anniversary of this battle, which occurred during the opening of the Battle of the Somme, in 1916. The Newfoundland Regiment suffered heavy losses that day; but they, like their Canadian brothers, emerged from this baptism of fire with a hard-earned reputation as front-line troops. After the war, a stunning monument was erected at the site, featuring a bronze caribou on a large stone pedestal.
   
First Quarter - July 2 @ 07:30
A waxing half-Moon is near the meridian (halfway across the sky) as the Sun sets.
   
HMCS Bonvaventure decommissioned - July 3 @ 01:00
On this day in 1970, HMCS Bonaventure was decomissioned after 13 years' service. This vessel was Canada's third aircraft carrier, after Warrior and Magnificent. Some 215 metres long and 34 wide, she was a small (by modern standards) ship of her type, but she was able to maintain a constant aerial screen during operations. Originally laid down during WWII, as the British ship HMS Powerful, she was mothballed after the war; she was acquired by the Canadian government in 1952 and commissioned in January of 1957. The Author nostalgically remembers car rides past her, in the Halifax dockyard, in the late Nineteen-Sixties.
   
US Independence Day - July 4 @ 01:00
Not to be confused with the hokey mid-90's movie.
   
BC Forest Fires - July 7 @ 01:00
A months-long period of massive forest fires began on this day in 2017. A State of Emergency held for 70 days.
   
Full Moon - July 10 @ 08:36
The Moon is most-opposite the Sun in the sky, rising as the sun sets.
   
Impact Day - July 16 @ 01:00
On this day in 1994, the first fragment of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacted with the planet Jupiter, leaving atmospheric scars which flowed together into bands and persisted for months.
   
Last Quarter - July 17 @ 12:37
A waning half-Moon is near the meridian (halfway across the sky) as the Sun rises.
   
Apollo 11 Landed - July 19 @ 01:00
On this day in 1969, the Apollo 11 Moon mission landed on its target while the world held its breath. Two American men--Neil Armstrong, and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin--walked on the Moon early the next day.
   
Saugenay Floods - July 19 @ 01:00
On this day in 1996, the first of several floods hit the Saugenay region of Quebec. Upwards of 15,000 people were evacuated, and some 500 homes lost.
   
British Columbia Joins Confederation - July 20 @ 01:00
Today marks 154 years since British Columbia joined the Canadian Confederation in 1871.
   
Comet Hale-Bopp discovered - July 23 @ 01:00
On this day in 1995, Comet Hale-Bopp was discovered independently by Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp. The comet proceeded to put on a protracted show, being the brightest in decades.
   
Amelia Earhart born - July 24 @ 01:00
On this day in 1897 (128 years ago), pilot Amelia Earhart was born, in Atchison, Kansas. A trailblazer for later generations of female pilots, she eventually lost her life after crashing on or near Howland Island, in the Pacific Ocean, on one of the later (and most-dangerous) legs of a round-the-world expedition. There is plenty of evidence that she survived the crash; shortwave radio calls, for example, which were triangulated to Howland. An ocean-exploration team recently announced tentative indications that the plane had been found, in approximately 5,000m of water.
   
New Moon - July 24 @ 07:11
The Moon is nearest the Sun in the sky and cannot be seen from the ground.
   
World War I Begins - July 28 @ 01:00
The global conflagration popularly called the "Great War" during the period, was the first war involving major powers worldwide. On this day, in 1914, a Serbian Nationalist assassinated Archuduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian crown. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia the same day, and within weeks most of the global powers were pulled in, eventually including the United States. Over 17-million (17,000,000) people lost their lives in the conflict, including some 65,000 Canadians. The war ended in 1918, now 111 years ago.
   
Hurricane Blanche - July 28 @ 01:00
A powerful post-tropical storm when it made landfall in Nova Scotia in 1975, this system dropped heavy rainfall over much of the province, accompanied by high winds and considerable thunder. The Author experienced this storm first-hand, on Sober Island, NS.
   
Edmonton Tornado - July 31 @ 01:00
On this day in 1987, a large tornado ripped through Edmonton, killing 27 and causing a third of a billion dollars in damage.
   
First Quarter - August 1 @ 00:41
A waxing half-Moon is near the meridian (halfway across the sky) as the Sun sets.
