The tradition of celebrating fathers day moved to Canada from the US. Some people celebrate their fathers by wearing a rose, to show their gratitude for their father. There are many beliefs of how this tradition actually started, however, there is no real proof or evidence as to exactly when fathers day came to be. One of the beliefs is the celebration of fathers first started thanks to the hard work of Sonora Louise Smart Dodd of Washington. She believed since there was already a day set aside specifically for the celebration of mothers that there should also be a day specifically dedicated to the celebration of fathers. A second belief is a little boy, by the name of Elmesu, carved his father a note out of clay about 4000 years ago, wishing him good health and a long life. Many countries built off of Elmesu's note to his father and soon after dedicated a day to the celebration of fathers.
