2024 marks the 38th annual event at Canada Place at the Port of Vancouver, which has historically been the largest Canada Day celebration outside Ottawa. It is also the second year since the event took a new direction.
Canada Together is planned collaboratively with representatives from the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. From programming to the name and theme itself, the details of the day are carefully considered to create a welcoming experience for all people who live in this country.
The theme of the event, “Weaving together the fabric of a nation,” was chosen to honour Canada’s diversity and set an intention for the day to gather, celebrate, learn, and share. Weaving is a common activity across many cultures and is a metaphor for the way that beauty, strength, and wisdom from the past can combine through multiple perspectives to create something meaningful for today and tomorrow.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Canada Together in 2024 – see you next year!
