| # | DATE | WORD | FUN FACT |
| 1200 | Aug 26, 2025 | GRAFT | In the Okanagan Valley, renowned for its orchards and vineyards, grafting is a vital horticultural technique. Scion grafting involves joining a young shoot (the scion) from a prized fruit tree onto the rootstock of another, combining strengths to grow healthier, more productive plants. This method helps Okanagan growers cultivate delicious apples, cherries, and grapes suited to the region’s unique climate, supporting one of Canada’s most important fruit-growing areas. |
| 1199 | Aug 25, 2025 | FUNDY | The Bay of Fundy, located between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, is home to the highest tides in the world—reaching up to 16 metres! This natural wonder fills and empties twice daily, moving over 160 billion tonnes of seawater. It’s also a hotspot for fossil discoveries, coastal hikes, and whale watching. Whether you’re exploring Hopewell Rocks or catching a tidal bore, the Bay of Fundy is pure Canadian magic! |

| 1197 | Aug 23, 2025 | DEMON | In 2025, Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters thrilled audiences with a fictional K-Pop girl group battling demons through music. Co-directed by Maggie Kang—born in Seoul, raised in Toronto, and a Sheridan College animation grad—the film blends Korean mythology with Canadian creativity. Its hit song Golden made Billboard history, topping both the Hot 100 and Global 200 charts. |
| 1196 | Aug 22, 2025 | DRIVE | In Canada’s history, the cattle drive was an essential part of the ranching culture, especially in the western provinces. In the late 1800s, cowboys would drive herds of cattle across vast distances to railheads, where the animals were shipped to markets. These cattle drives, especially in areas like Alberta and Saskatchewan, were grueling yet vital to the growth of Canada’s beef industry. The tradition of cattle driving is still celebrated today in rodeos and ranching festivals, reminding Canadians of the tough, adventurous spirit that shaped the nation’s prairies. |
| 1195 | Aug 21, 2025 | CURRY | Curry is a beloved South Asian dish that’s rich, aromatic, and endlessly versatile—and it’s become a favourite in Canada too! From coast to coast, you’ll find curries brimming with flavours like cumin, turmeric, ginger, and coriander, served at Indian restaurants, food trucks, and festivals. It’s a delicious example of how Canada embraces bold, global tastes! Catch the vibrant Indian Food Festival in Ottawa this August 22–24 to savour authentic curries and celebrate the rich flavours of India! |
| 1194 | Aug 20, 2025 | BATIK | Batik is a centuries-old textile art that uses wax and dye to create beautiful, layered designs. While it originated in Indonesia, batik has found a vibrant home in Canada, where artists have embraced the technique to reflect uniquely Canadian themes—like northern lights, maple leaves, and coastal landscapes. From community workshops to gallery exhibitions, Canadian batik artists continue to blend global tradition with local creativity in bold, colourful ways. |
| 1193 | Aug 19, 2025 | WHOOP | Every August, Lethbridge, Alberta celebrates Whoop-Up Days—a high-energy festival full of rodeos, concerts, midway rides, and pancake breakfasts galore. The name comes from the wild days of frontier trading, when “whooping it up” meant a real party. Today, it’s all about community, cowboy spirit, and letting loose—prairie style! Whoop-Up Days 2025 takes place from August 19 to 23, so mark your calendars for five days of fun and celebration. |
| 1192 | Aug 18, 2025 | OCHRE | The ochre sea star is a tide pool icon found along the Pacific coast of Canada, especially in British Columbia. Ranging in colour from orange to purple, these five-armed wonders are keystone species—meaning they play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. Without them, mussel populations would take over! Some ochre sea stars can grow up to 50 cm across and live more than 20 years! |
