Scott: Sentence #2 is a bit hard to follow because it changes from talking about a special day to one that's not exciting. The two phrases contradict one another. I think it's just a minor language use error. If you had said "Even though Canada Day used to be a special celebration for me ..." that would have worked better.

Syed: You got the dependent clause part right. If you add the other two sentences, you can earn full points.

Curtis, Jocelyn, Lana, Leigha, Norma: Thank you for your answers!
