The Snowbirds on Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa, 2008
Most communities across the country will host organized celebrations for Canada Day, typically outdoor public events, such as parades, carnivals, festivals, barbecues, air and maritime shows, fireworks, and free musical concerts,[15] as well as citizenship ceremonies.[16][17] There is no standard mode of celebration for Canada Day; Jennifer Welsh, a professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford, said about this: Canada Day, like the country, is endlessly decentralized. There doesn't seem to be a central recipe for how to celebrate it—chalk it up to the nature of the federation. However, the locus of the celebrations is the national capital, Ottawa, Ontario, where large concerts and cultural displays are held on Parliament Hill, with the governor general and prime minister typically officiating, though the monarch or another member of the Royal Family may also attend or take the governor general's place.[n 2] Smaller events are mounted in other parks around the city and in neighbouring Gatineau, Quebec.
Given the federal nature of the anniversary, celebrating Canada Day can be a cause of friction in the province of Quebec, where the holiday is overshadowed by Quebec's National Holiday, on June 24. For example, the federal government funds Canada Day events at the Old Port of Montreal—an area run by a federal Crown corporation—while the National Holiday parade is a grassroots effort that has been met with pressure to cease, even from federal officials.[26] The nature of the event has also been met with criticism outside of Quebec, such as that given by Ottawa Citizen columnist David Warren, who said in 2007: The Canada of the government-funded paper flag-waving and painted faces—the 'new' Canada that is celebrated each year on what is now called 'Canada Day'—has nothing controversially Canadian about it. You could wave a different flag, and choose another face paint, and nothing would be lost.[27]
Canada Day also coincides with Quebec's Moving Day, when many fixed-lease apartment rental terms expire. The bill changing the province's moving day from May 1 to July 1 was introduced by a federalist member of the Quebec National Assembly, Jérôme Choquette, in 1973, in order not to affect children still in school in the month of May.

Saint John is the capital of New Brunswick and one of the biggest cities in Eastern Canada. It's a popular cruise port and during the summer Saint John is loaded with tourists.
One day in Saint John was all the time I had, but it wasn't enough. I hope to return to New Brunswick in the future and spend more time exploring this beautiful province.

1595 Manawagonish Road, Saint John, NB by Shawn Tucker
Feel the quality this home possesses as soon as your feet hit the oak hardwoods just inside the large front entry and look right through to the updated kitchen and ocean views along the back of the home. Quartz counters and a large island will draw your eyes as you step towards the kitchen and notice it's open to the formal dining room. You'll find access to the deck here as well which also enjoys the ocean views, looking out over the nature park and Saint's Rest Beach. Also along the back of the home you'll find your soon to be favourite reading and morning coffee spot, your sunroom with floor to ceiling windows. At the far end of the home you'll stop dead in your tracks when stepping into the massive games room, one large enough to make the largest of pool tables look tiny. Cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling fireplace are two more of the highlights of the room. Upstairs has two large bedrooms, each with their own walk in closet and an ensuite bath, and both have direct access to the sauna. Downstairs is mostly finished with a large family room at ground level and a 3rd bedroom. Use the rental unit as income or save it for a great guest suite for friends and family.
