Because Canada is a constitutional monarchy and a Commonwealth Realm, with Queen Elizabeth II as its reigning monarch.
A lot of Canadians don't see the point of making such a big deal over the Queen but the fact remains that she is still considered to be "our" queen as well. Which is why we also have a Governor General. The queen's political powers are exercised by our Governor General. I'm just hoping I never have to see the day when I use money with Prince Charles face on it :(.

I think that it is because we are still a Common Wealth Nation. Meaning that we were a colony of the United Kingdom and then gained our independence but still maintain a tie with our mother country.
