Canada Day In Ottawa

2 July 2008By Zhu 19 Comments

Yesterday was Canada Day, our national holiday. And what better place to celebrate than Ottawa, the nation’s capital?

Canada Day Fireworks

The crowd was gathered on Major Hill and on Parliament Hill.

Canadian art on display: a mask made of an hockey gloves. And of course, the traditional Canada Day tee shirts!

Downtown was packed and of course, there were Canadian flags on every buildings.

Parliament Hill and the traditional RCMP officers posing for a picture.

Ladies selling souvenirs and acrobats in the street.

And the fireworks at night, over the Ottawa river
