You don’t have to be a flag-waving patriot to get excited about Canada: a day off, a series of free events around town and tacit permission to show up for work the next day hung over will often suffice in lieu of queen and country. Most people will likely gather around Parliament Hill for the big show featuring Sarah McLachlan, K’naan and the Canadian Tenors, or the smaller musical acts preforming at Major’s Hill. However, if you want to avoid the masses while still getting your share of the national holiday freebies, check our list of free NCC sponsored events below. A full program of the day’s action can be found here.
