Residents in Ottawa celebrated big this year as the capital did not fall short on celebrations.
The main event took place at LeBreton Flats Park where proud Canadians gathered to celebrate Canada’s 157th birthday.
Lebreton Flats hosted a number of activities and shows, including a flypast, where a significant number of airplanes roamed the skies for several minutes. The celebrations started at 9 a.m. and will end at 10 p.m. with fireworks that will be seen from many places around downtown.
“We're very proud to be Canadian. And I think this is my daughter's first time in Ottawa," Toronto resident, Steven Lung, who's celebrating the day with his family at LeBreton Flats Park told CTV News Ottawa's Jackie Perez Monday.
"It's really great. I think they've really managed to have a really festive spirit here."
Ottawa resident Garry Dubu who was celebrating at Parliament Hill added that "it’s good to see everybody come together."
Various neighbourhoods in the capital -- including Barrhaven, Orleans and Kanata -- also celebrated the big day.
