International Day of Parliamentarism is observed on June 30 to honor the parliamentary systems of governance. First observed by a United Nations General Assembly Resolution in 2018, the day recognizes the unique and enduring system of parliamentary democracy as being the standard for political representation. The day also recognizes how a parliamentary system can conduct self-evaluations to take stock of progress, identify challenges, and formulate ways to address them.
National Canoe Day
National Canoe Day is celebrated on June 26 every year. Though it is a Canadian holiday, it’s celebrated in the U.S. as well. Canoeing is both a sport and a recreational activity — one that’s relaxing and good for the environment. Wherever there is water, there are canoeists. On National Canoe Day thousands visit their favorite waterways, exploring their lakes and rivers or participating in competitive aquatic events. Canoeing is a fun activity that’s easy to learn and friendly to people across different age groups. It’s also a low-impact form of exercise, so it’s good for your health too.
