Every holiday needs a beginning. In the United States, National Doughnut Day is a time-honoured tradition dating back to 1938. It was created to honour the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I and continues to be popular due to the awesomeness of doughnuts.
Canadian National Doughnut Day has no such gloried past. Observed on the second Friday in June, Canadian National Doughnut Day is designed to give Canadians, jealous of the American holiday, a chance to celebrate our own history of cakey goodness.
Help bring life to Canada's newest National Holiday. Celebrate Canadian Doughnut Day on the second weekend of June every year!
