Canada Day in the Nations Capital
There is A LOT to do in Ottawa on Canada Day, July 1st. The city buzzes with this energy that just can't be felt at any other time of the year (well, unless the Sens make it to the cup…..but that’s another story!)
No matter where you are in the city, there’s something to do. Heading to Parliament Hill to watch all of the free shows is one of the biggest. Many families host barbeques, and then arrive downtown in time to watch the fireworks. It’s an amazing time to be visiting or living in this wonderful city. If you haven’t been to Ottawa on our country’s birthday, you might want to consider planning a vacation to coincide with it; I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Since there is so much going on, I can’t possibly post about it all in one little article. For this reason, I’m going to direct you over to the National Capital Commission’s Website for information on all the events, shows, activities, and just about anything else you can think of. This site is one of the best resources for anyone looking for anything Canada Day related. They have even included a short Experience Canada Day music video.
Hope to see you on the Hill!
