2023 marks the 37th annual event at Canada Place at the Port of Vancouver, which has historically been the largest Canada Day celebration outside Ottawa.
Canada Together has been planned collaboratively with representatives from the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. From programming to the name and theme itself, the details of the day were carefully considered to create a welcoming experience for all people who live in this country.
Once again, the theme of the event will be “Weaving together the fabric of a nation,” which honours Canada’s diversity and marks the day as one for gathering, celebrating, learning and sharing. Weaving is a common activity across many cultures and is a metaphor for the way the beauty, strength, and wisdom from the past can combine through multiple perspectives to create something meaningful for today and tomorrow.
The gathering will feature a day of festivities, great food, family fun, and performances.
Date: Saturday, July 1, 2023
Time: 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Location: The outdoor spaces at Canada Place, Jack Poole Plaza, and surrounding city streets. Please note there will be no indoor programming inside Canada Place.
