Canada Day

Canada Day is a celebration that brings communities together to share our special bond of living in one of the greatest country’s in the world and celebrating our freedom, values and diversity.

Canada Place Corporation presented its largest Canada Day event in 2009 welcoming 175,000 guests to Canada Place and its surrounding streets for a one of a kind street festival followed by the inaugural Canada Day Parade, and the two-barge Burrard Inlet Fireworks Show. The free daytime street festival encompassed six city blocks and neighbouring Harbour Green Park and featured non-stop Canadian entertainment.

Canada Day at Canada Place 2009, “Welcoming the World to Canada’s Games” took home the 2009 BC Event Award for Best Festival at the Canadian Special Events & Meeting Expo. Winners move on to the 13th Annual NATIONAL Star Awards scheduled for March 26th in Toronto.
