Dominion of Canada Coat of Arms Plate The title ?Dominion of Canada? was first applied to Canada at Confederation in 1867. It was also used to describe other countries in the Commonwealth. The federal government stopped using the word Dominion by the early 1950s. The last hold-over was the term Dominion Day. It was changed to Canada Day in 1982. Today, the word Dominion is seldom used to describe Canada. Square shape with gold trim and yellowish clear glaze, coat of arms in the center showing the Union Jack.
