Canada Day is Wednesday, July 1. Canada will be turning 153 years old this year! Usually the capital of Canada, Ottawa, holds large celebrations and fireworks displays each Canada Day to celebrate. This year, however, due to the Coronavirus all celebrations will be online. The following video is of the spectacular display of fireworks that occurred for the special CANADA 150 celebrations. This was in 2017 when Canada turned 150 years old. The fireworks are set off above and around the Peace Tower.
In class back in November, we discussed the Peace Tower during our Remembrance Day studies. The Peace Tower is also known as the Tower of Victory and Peace and it is the centre of the Centre Block building of the Canadian Parliament buildings. It was opened in 1920 and includes a bell and clock tower. This Peace Tower also includes a memorial to Canadians who have died in different wars and conflicts.
The fireworks video for CANADA 150 is 21 minutes long. It is a remarkable display!! Please make your own decision as to whether you would like to watch the video in it's entirety or perhaps just parts. This is the video link:
Happy Birthday Canada!!
