Canada Day is family fun at the Old Port of Montreal
This year, Canada Day festivities will be family-oriented, with friendly and unifying activities designed to strengthen ties between Montrealers.
Clock Tower Quay, in Montreal's Old Port, will be transformed into a huge block party where families can enjoy fun workshops, games, face painting, street entertainers, inflatables and more.
The swearing-in ceremony for new Canadians, the traditional salute by the Canadian Armed Forces, and the presence of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are a must, as is the conventional sharing of cupcakes.
