  • Canada Day Celebrations: Concerts, Speeches, and Fireworks Nationwide

    The Maple Leaf is flying on every lamppost, flagpole, and patio in downtown Ottawa as the national capital joins other cities in welcoming thousands of revelers for Canada Day.

    A number of city streets are closed around Parliament Hill and the LeBreton Flats Park, where the stage for this year’s main ceremony is set up. The national celebration is set to start at noon Eastern Time and includes performances by Bedouin Soundclash and Montreal artist Marie-Mai.

    People in downtown Ottawa will also see a special fly-past in honour of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 100th anniversary, featuring the Snowbirds aerobatics team. The celebrations will be capped off by a fireworks display at around 10 p.m., also at LeBreton Flats.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office says he won’t be attending events in Ottawa, but will instead be in St. John’s, N.L., where he’s taking part in a ceremony to mark 100 years of the Newfoundland National War Memorial and the interment of the remains of a First World War soldier.

    This year’s anniversary airshow features a series of aircraft that date back to the Second World War, along with planes and helicopters the Air Force is flying today. People will also get a glimpse of the RCAF’s future, courtesy of the U.S. Navy, which has flown in several of its own aircraft including a P-8 Poseidon surveillance plane. Canada signed a $4.3-billion deal to buy a fleet of P-8s last November, and they’re set to arrive in 2026.

    On Parliament Hill, where the main ceremonies had been held in years before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Air Force pipes and drums band and the air cadets bands will perform throughout the day, and the SkyHawks parachute team is set to drop by at 3 p.m. Athletes who are representing Team Canada at the Olympics and Paralympics in Paris this summer will also be part of the events at LeBreton Flats.

    Elsewhere, ceremonies, shows, and other festivities are set to take place in cities across the country.
