“O Canada” is the national anthem of Canada. The music was composed by Calixa Lavallée, and the original French lyrics were written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier in 1880 as a patriotic song for the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Over time, it became a symbol of national pride and was officially adopted as Canada’s national anthem in 1980.
