The first Canadian same-sex marriages took place on January 14, 2001 at the Toronto Metropolitan
Community Church. These became the basis of a successful legal challenge which ended at the court of
appeal on June 10, 2003. On July 20, 2005, the Federal government passed the Civil Marriage Act that
made Canada the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. Thus, different people date
the arrival of same-sex marriage in Canada as 2001, 2003, or 2005.
