In the mid-1950s, daffodils were chosen to decorate the tables at a tea hosted by Lady Eaton in the downtown Toronto Eaton's store to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. The event was so popular that Canadian Cancer Society volunteers in Toronto created an annual Daffodil Day. The Daffodil Tea became an established event in many communities across the province. On Daffodil Day, some restaurants donated part of their receipts to the Canadian Cancer Society and patrons were given a daffodil as a token of appreciation. When restaurant patrons began offering to pay for their daffodils, Society volunteers realized they could raise funds by selling flowers. The following year, volunteers took to the streets to sell daffodils to the general public. An anonymous donor paid to fly 5,000 blooms from British Columbia, where the growing season starts early. Daffodil sales raised more than $1,200 in 1957 and became an annual event. Daffodil Day was eventually extended to Daffodil Days -- usually from Thursday to the first Sunday in April. Daffodil fundraising now takes place throughout Canada and across North America, Europe and Australia. 1, record 6, English, - Daffodil%20Days

Au milieu des années 50, les jonquilles furent choisies pour décorer les tables lors d’un thé-bénéfice organisé par Lady Eaton au magasin Eaton's du centre-ville de Toronto au profit de la Société canadienne du cancer. L'événement fut tellement populaire que les bénévoles de la Société canadienne du cancer à Toronto créèrent un Jour de la jonquille annuel. Le thé de la jonquille devint un événement bien établi dans plusieurs communautés à travers la province. Lors du Jour de la jonquille, certains restaurants donnèrent une partie de leurs recettes à la Société canadienne du cancer et leurs clients reçurent une jonquille en guise de remerciement. Lorsque certains clients offrirent de payer pour les jonquilles, les bénévoles de la Société réalisèrent qu'ils pourraient recueillir des fonds en vendant des fleurs. L'année suivante, les bénévoles ont parcouru les rues pour vendre des jonquilles. Un donateur anonyme paya pour transporter par avion 5 000 fleurs de la Colombie-Britannique, où la saison débute plus tôt. La vente de jonquilles permit de recueillir plus de 1 2000 $ en 1957 et devint un événement annuel. Le Jour de la jonquille est devenu plus tard les Jours de la jonquille, ayant lieu généralement du premier jeudi au premier dimanche d’avril. Les Jours de la jonquille ont maintenant lieu partout au Canada, à travers l'Amérique du Nord, en Europe et en Australie. 1, record 6, French, - Jours%20de%20la%20jonquille
