Updated for 2019
I just love Canada Day! Maybe it’s because my very first Canada Day was Canada’s 100th birthday and was spent at Expo ‘67. I tell you – that was one thrilling experience! Of course, I’ve loved every Canada Day since then too. I feel privileged to be able to call Canada my home and I get a bit sentimental when its birthday rolls around.
Please note that some of the information we have at this time is not very detailed. Clearly final plans are still underway. We will update this post as more information becomes available on Canada Day Activities in London Ontario 2019.
