On the first Sunday of July there were three American children who immigrated to Canada and celebrated the first national Friendship Day in Canada. It was then that the very first National Friendship Day card was issued. This photo was placed by American farmer Louis Pasteur in a frame which he donated to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Museum in Ottawa.
