Celebrate Canada Day in DTK
Canada Day is always one of the biggest events of the summer, with lots of family-friendly fun, an evening concert, and a fireworks display to end the night.
A big Canadian thanks to everyone who joined us in downtown Kitchener for a Canada Day to remember! From the music to the fireworks, it was a celebration that truly captured the spirit of our community. Let’s make next year’s event even more memorable. Don’t miss out, subscribe to this page (look for green button on the bottom right) to be notified of future events.
Canada Day is also an opportunity to continue education, awareness and celebration of Indigenous culture. Find learning resources below.
Marking Canada Day respectfully
Canada Day is an opportunity to learn about Indigenous culture, and the deep, enduring, and positive impact First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples have on culture, community, environmental protection and more. We encourage you to thoughtfully examine what it means to be Canadian and understand our country’s Indigenous roots and the racism that still exists today.
