Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Gov Gen. Mary Simon joined in a Canada Day ceremony held in Ottawa.

The public celebration marking the 156th anniversary of the founding of Canada featured an Indigenous reflection ceremony, a citizenship ceremony, and plenty of musical performances.

Trudeau and Simon, alongside CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen and a host of others, addressed the thousands in attendance.

“Thank you to the members of the Canadian Armed Forces who put their lives on the line to protect our citizens and our values, at home and abroad,” Trudeau said during his speech. “And thank you to the first responders and brave firefighters, including friends from around the world, who are right now keeping our communities safe in these difficult times.”

The COVID-19 pandemic cancelled events across the country for two years, including in Ottawa. Then last year, remnants of the “Freedom Convoy” protests that had clogged city streets that winter created tension that disrupted the day and caused some to be wary of heading downtown.
