Where will you be when Canada turns 150?<\/p>\n<h6><em><strong>CALGARY<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Fort Calgary will host a celebration that is bigger and better than ever! Take part in a free pancake breakfast, live music and entertainment, children\u2019s crafts and petting zoo, food trucks, and a chance to dress-up like a Mountie!<\/li>\n<li>Visit the new Canada 150 sign in Prince&#8217;s Island Park! Appreciate it as a symbol of how we\u2019ve come together as a nation, and snap a photo to remember this milestone for our country. While you&#8217;re at the park, stick around for an Aboriginal Showcase and Powwow, and learn more about Canada&#8217;s military history.<\/li>\n<li>The site of our finish line party for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportinglife10k.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sporting Life 10k<\/a>, Olympic Plaza is the perfect place to spend your Canada Day! There will be entertainment galore of all sorts &#8211; song, dance, art, and more. Afterwards, take a short walk over to Riverside Avenue, where you can watch fireworks against the incredible backdrop of the Rockies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><em><strong>TORONTO<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>It may be tough to get tickets if you haven&#8217;t already, but the Blue Jays are playing a home game on Canada Day&#8230;what could be more patriotic than cheering on our country&#8217;s lone MLB team? If you can&#8217;t get a seat at the Rogers Centre, you can always set up at a local patio or at home to watch the game. Come together with family &amp; friends and support Canada&#8217;s team!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/torontoribfest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toronto Ribfest<\/a> happens to fall on Canada Day weekend&#8230;can you say perfect? Spend the day outside, grab some delicious food &amp; drinks and enjoy the entertainment available at Etobicoke Centennial Park.<\/li>\n<li>Fireworks are a given for the big 1-5-0. Whether you set up on your street (safely!) or visit a local park, there are countless locations to get cozy under a blanket and watch a fireworks show. May we suggest visiting Nathan Phillips Square? Fireworks kick off at 10:55pm on Friday, Saturday, Sunday AND Monday night, and you can get an Instagram opp with the infamous 3D Toronto sign!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><em><strong>OTTAWA<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n<p>Last but not least, the Nation&#8217;s Capital! Ottawa is the hub of all things Canada 150. Stop by one of three designated celebration zones in the city and take part in some of the exciting activities!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Parliament Hill &#8211; Experience the &#8220;Inspection of the Guard&#8221;, a 21-gun salute, an Air Show with the Snowbirds and CF-18 and more! You might even catch a glimpse of the Prime Minister or some of the incredible Canadian talent performing at the evening show.<\/li>\n<li>Major&#8217;s Hill Park &#8211; Enjoy a huge variety of family-friendly programming including buskers, trivia games, face painting, fun photo opportunities, swing dancing performances, rides for kids on the VIA Rail miniature train, the 25<sup>th<\/sup> annual Great Canadian Chicken BBQ, and much more!<\/li>\n<li>Canadian Museum of History &#8211; Take part in indoor and outdoor programming including inflatable games, wall climbing, live wild animals, puppet theatre, a Syrian house, plus the official opening of the museums\u2019 new Canadian History Hall!
