Canada Day – MTL 2020

On July 1st at 7 p.m, MTL-2020 will present a 60-minute series of pre-recorded performances that showcase Montréal’s cultural diversity in an unprecedented format, all while complying with public health authority guidelines and respecting the existing social distancing measures. Stars of the Quebec musical scene took part in this spectacle in an emblematic venue of the city of Montréal. It is the first show without an audience in the heart of the Olympic Stadium grounds, a historic event!

Visit https://canadadaymtl.ca/en/ to watch the show.

Canada Day Virtual fireworks

Yup, you heard right. At 10 pm, local time, point your smartphone or tablet to the night sky and a 3-minute show displaying 3D fireworks will begin. The augmented reality experience will give you the same visual and sound effects as a real fireworks display!

Visit www.canada.ca for details.

Abbotsford Canada Day Pet Parade

Even though Abbotsford is on the other side of the country, it’s worth tuning in to their virtual Canada Day celebration – because there’s a pet parade! There will also be performances by local artists.
