Here’s what you need to know about Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa
The lineup for Canada’s 157th birthday party in Ottawa and Gatineau has been released, with the main birthday celebrations set for LeBreton Flats Park for the third straight year.
Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge announced the official celebrations on July 1 will be held at LeBreton Flats Park, on Parliament Hill and in Old Hull.
“Canada Day gives us a chance to come together and celebrate our pride in being Canadian,” St-Onge said in a statement.
“In addition to showcasing our art and culture, Canada Day also highlights our country’s wonderful diversity. Come enjoy a host of memorable experiences with family and friends by taking part in the July 1 celebrations in Canada’s Capital Region.”
LeBreton Flats Park will be “the hub” for the July 1 celebrations, with events scheduled from 9 a.m. to 10:15 p.m., including the popular Daytime Ceremony and the Evening Show with performances by Maestro Fresh Wes, Metric, Neon Dreams and more. Canada Day events will wrap up at 10 p.m. with fireworks.
Canadian Heritage has moved the main celebrations to LeBreton Flats from Parliament Hill due to the renovations at the Centre Block.
