London gears up to celebrate Canada Day on Sunday, June 30th, 2024, marking the national day of Canada. With over 80,000 Canadians residing in the UK, a significant portion of them calling London home, the city eagerly anticipates the festivities. Last year, the annual Canada Day celebrations in London attracted 30,000 attendees, showcasing the strong bond between Canada and the UK capital.
From noon to 8 pm, the Londonist revealed, Londoners and visitors alike are invited to partake in free festivities and activities at Trafalgar Square. Highlights include live performances on the music stage featuring renowned bands like Tokyo Police Club and Alan Doyle. Attendees can also meet and have their photos taken with members of the famous Royal Canadian Mounted Police, adding a touch of Canadian heritage to the event.
Hockey enthusiasts can enjoy interactive activities courtesy of the National Hockey League, while foodies can indulge in Canadian culinary delights such as poutine, lobster rolls, and Nanaimo bars at various food stalls. Additionally, attendees stand a chance to win prizes, including flights to Canada.
Trafalgar Square’s significance to Canada is underscored by the presence of Canada House on its west side, adorned with a forest of Maple leaf flags. Cockspur Street, nearby, boasts opulent buildings from the golden age of travel, once owned by entities like the Canadian National Railway Company. As London embraces Canada Day, the city reaffirms its ties with Canada in a celebration of culture, heritage, and friendship.
