North Macedonian Independence Day

North Macedonian Independence Day is observed annually on September 8. The holiday marks the 1991 referendum in which citizens voted overwhelmingly in favour of independence from the former Yugoslavia, moving forward as a sovereign parliamentary democracy. The Town of Tecumseh will recognize this occasion with a flag raising of the North Macedonian flag from September 5 to 8, and Town Hall will be illuminated in red and yellow, the national colours of North Macedonia.

This observance also acknowledges the presence of North Macedonian Canadians in our community and the pride they share in this national holiday.
