2017 will mark Canada's 150th birthday, being the anniversary of the 1867 British North America Act, which created the country called #Canada. The date became known as Dominion Day, and in 1982 its name was changed to #CanadaDay.
Celebrations will take place throughout the year and it is estimated that 1.75 million additional visitors will visit Ottawa in 2017 to take part in the celebrations and that more than C$218 million (£110 million) will be generated for the local economy.
#Ottowa2017 created by Ottawa Tourism and supported by a growing community of partners, the Ottawa 2017 Bureau is tasked with creating 12 full months of big, bold, and moving experiences that will complement national celebrations and annual events and festivals.
