Canberra Day is a public holiday held annually on the second Monday in March in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) to celebrate the official naming of Canberra. Canberra was named at a ceremony on 12 March 1913 by Lady Denman, the wife of the then Governor-General Lord Denman. In ''2012'' Canberra Day falls on ''12 March''. In ''2013'' it falls on ''11 March''. On 3 March 2007, ACT Minister Andrew Barr introduced a bill to change the day of Canberra Day to the ''second'' Monday in March so it falls closer more often to the actual birthday of Canberra. Previously it had been held on the third Monday in March. Annual events associated with Canberra Day include the (Canberra Festival ), which runs from 11-20 March 2011, the Chief Minister's Canberra Day Awards Ceremony, and the Canberra Festival Balloon Spectacular. ==See also== * History of Canberra * Public holidays in Australia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canberra Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
