We're lucky that we get to call Canada home and celebrate it in one of the most beautiful cities in the country.
There's something for everyone this Canada Day. Catch musical performances and watch an Indigenous Powwow at The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland, relax with family friendly activities at Prince's Island Park, and take in the fireworks from Scotsman's Hill.
And as we celebrate, we honour the Traditional Territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, Tsuut'ina Nation, and Stoney Nakoda Nations — whose connection to this land goes beyond any holiday.
