March 8 is a very important date in Canadian history. It is the day in 1867 that the British Parliament gave final reading to the British North America Act (BNA Act), which created Canada. The Act, now the Constitution Act, came into effect July 1 of that year, but the March 8 vote was also historic paving the way for self-government. Obviously, there was no Yorkton newspaper on that date in 1867 because there was no Yorkton. In 1982, however, March 8 was the day the British Parliament passed the Canada Act allowing this country to patriate the Constitution. Despite Canada’s independence from Britain, until 1982 the Constitution remained under the control of the British Parliament.
