Canada Day 2025 in the City of Toronto

Canada's birthday comes Tuesday, July 1 and in 2025 it means we have been a country for a modest 158 years, really we are still in our teen years! It began in 1867 with the Canadian Confederation as the British North America Act passes in the British Parliament. Like any birthday party it is time to celebrate and the City of Toronto has plenty of stuff planned for the event including fireworks (just not at Toronto City Hall).

Here is the information from the City.

"The City of Toronto invites residents and visitors to come together this Canada Day to enjoy free programming and fireworks displays across the city. From vibrant daytime activities in parks, public squares and Toronto History Museums to stunning fireworks lighting up the night sky, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Canada Day also offers an opportunity to show support for local communities through the City’s “Love Local” campaign. Whether enjoying food from a neighbourhood vendor, shopping at a community market or joining a local celebration, residents are encouraged to celebrate Canada while supporting local businesses.
