Canada will celebrate its 150th anniversary on July 1, 2017.
Each year, Ottawa is the perfect place to celebrate Canada Day because its downtown area is closed to motor vehicles and becomes the main venue for celebrations.
From 1 January 2017 until January 2018, exciting and unique events will be organized throughout the city.
To congratulate Canadians, I prepared this article on Ottawa for my friends and readers:
