"Canada" (also known as "Ca-na-da" or "Centennial Songs" , the French version "Une chanson du centenaire "was written by Bobby Gimby in 1967 to celebrate a hundred years and the Canadian 67th Expo, and was commissioned by the Centennial Commission ( Centennial Commission (a special Federal Government agency). it is written in two official languages ​​Canada, English and French.
The recording was performed by the Young Canadian Singer, two groups of children - one singing French lyrics, led by Montreal conductor Raymond Berthiaume, and another singing in English, under the conduct of Laurie Bower in Toronto. The music score was composed by Ben McPeek. The song was recorded at Hallmark Recording Studios in Toronto, and a 45-rpm release was produced for the Centennial Commission by Quality Records Ltd. The single was Canada's most successful single in 1967, selling 270,000 copies that never existed before.
In 1971, Gimby donated all the royalties to the Boy Scouts of Canada, but the song only earned one cent per game, which is one of the lowest scores in the world. Since its release, the song has been recorded by over 30 different musicians.

The song is sung as a continuous round. Although both English and French versions are produced, both are bilingual. In the English version, English verses were sung first, followed by chorus in English, and then French verse. In the French version, the sequence of verses is reversed, and the first chorus is sung in French. The second, bilingual, chorus is the same for both versions, with the exception of the last line.
