This year, celebrate Canada Day by creating memorable moments at home
OTTAWA, June 18, 2021
Today, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Heritage, unveiled the Canada Day 2021 program.
“July 1 is about celebrating what makes Canada beautiful and strong,” said Minister Guilbeault. “This year, more than ever, Canada Day invites Canadians to show empathy, understanding and resilience. It also offers an opportunity to reflect, reaffirm our commitment to address systemic racism and discrimination, and learn from each other with open hearts and minds. Most importantly, Canada Day allows us to hold a truthful, reconciliatory and inclusive dialogue while strengthening the ties that unite us and looking toward our country’s future with hope and confidence while acknowledging darker episodes of our history.”
On July 1, as you reflect on what it means for you to be a part of this country, we invite you to create memorable moments at home and to celebrate Canada’s artistic diversity.
Like many others, the cultural industry has suffered greatly since the COVID-19 pandemic began, but it has also shown tremendous resilience and creativity. Canadian Heritage is proud to support the artists and entertainment industry professionals by presenting Lights on Canada Day, a showcase of artistic diversity and excellence.
