The sounds of Indigenous drumming rang out alongside songs and cheers in honour of Canada Day on Saturday as Canadians gathered.
People attending Canada Day celebrations at LeBreton Flats hold a toy wearing RCMP style uniform in Ottawa on July 1, 2023. Canada's capital city will see some festivities around Parliament Hill, but the main entertainment will be at LeBreton Flats, just west of downtown, where celebrations are expected to return to a sense of normalcy this year.
“People are coming to Canada to proudly call it their home and build their lives and our communities and our country, all together,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a cheering crowd at a Canada Day ceremony in Ottawa. “It’s a little bit smaller, but it doesn’t matter. Look at all these people here, they’re all living together and they’re all living in harmony,” said organizer Nick Cowen.
“It’s good to see it a little more diverse now,” he said, recalling the time he used to attend the festivities as a child. Members of the crowd — many clad in red and white and sporting temporary maple leaf tattoos — clapped and waved Canadian flags through the performances.“Freedom of speech, freedom of environment,” she said. “Compared to my home country, provides me a much better living environment and also freedom, not only physically but mentally.”Sign up for the CHEK Now daily email newsletter to get breaking news and the day's top stories sent to your email.
