Comprehensive guide to Canada Day celebrations, transit service, how to celebrate safely and what rules you need to follow.
This document contains information on:
1. National Canada Day celebrations
On July 1, enjoy the shows and activities taking place at LeBreton Flats Park in the heart of Ottawa-Gatineau. The Government of Canada has a full list of programing for Canada Day celebrations between 9 am and 10:30 pm at LeBreton Flats Park and activities elsewhere in Ottawa-Gatineau.
Many roads and pathways in the downtown core will be closed to regular traffic, so getting around downtown on Canada Day will be challenging. Plan your route ahead of time and expect delays. Public transit is your best option.
For the most current road conditions, visit the City’s interactive traffic map and select both the ‘Events’ and ‘Incidents’ fields. For more information.
During Canada Day celebrations a major flypast involving a significant number of aircraft is planned and will last for several minutes. The flypast is no cause for concern. For information on these flypasts follow Royal Canadian Air Force’s social channels and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds on Twitter.
2. Free transit service on Canada Day
OC Transpo is the best way to travel to Canada Day events across the city, with free service all day on O-Train Line 1, buses and Para Transpo. OC Transpo will have extra service running throughout the day and into the evening. Para Transpo service will run until 3 am, with last trips booked for 2 am.
With the main event taking place at LeBreton Flats again this year, OC Transpo wants to make sure you know how to get to and from the event site with ease. Use OC Transpo’s Travel Planner or download Transit, the recommended app for OC Transpo customers to plan your trip!
Leave early and arrive on time at LeBreton Flats
