 National anthem

O Canada is the national anthem of Canada. The music was composed by Calixa Lavallée, and the original French text was written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier, as a French-Canadian patriotic song for the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society.
It was first performed on June 24, 1880 at the banquet in honor of the Fete nationale du Quebec Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day in Quebec City, but it only became the official anthem for Canada on July 1, 1980. The official English version is based on a poem written by Robert Stanley Weir in 1908, it is not a translation of the French song.
The National Anthem Act 1980 added a religious reference to the English text.
God Save the Queen was used as a national anthem O Canada was set before. It is also Canada's royal anthem.
