- A day at the beach: A day off during the summer means one thing for many Canadians, a day at the beach – and there is no shortage of great beaches to visit no matter where you live.
- An extra-long weekend at the cottage: With Canada Day falling on a Tuesday this year, why not take Monday as a vacation day and spend Canada Day at the cottage as part of an extended long weekend.
- The CHIN International Picnic/Canada’s Wonderland: This annual event, which is held yearly at the Exhibition Place, is the perfect place to celebrate Canada Day, do some shopping, have some great food and enjoy the midway rides and entertainment. Spending the day at Canada’s Wonderland is also a great option for the entire family.
- Head to the nation’s capital: One of the best places to ring in Canada Day is in Ottawa at Queens Park. Perhaps the biggest celebration in the country, the south lawn at Queens Park is filled with fun for the entire family.
