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.
Join the celebrations on December 31st, before the celebrations start at Parliament Hill, there will be an early-evening, family-friendly celebration that will include the lighting of a spectacular cauldron at Ottawa City Hall.
The sparking of this special landmark will cue hundreds of Ottawa-area students to form a 750 metre human chain (Fire of Friendship Torch Relay) to Parliament Hill. The celebrations will then continue on Parliament Hill until midnight, some of the festivities will also be projected on a giant screen at City Hall.
