She also stressed that, with the exception of Indigenous peoples, all Canadians have immigrant backgrounds. The ceremony at Queen's Park was one of 55 similar ceremonies held across the country for today's sesquicentennial. Festivities to celebrate Canada Day will take place at Queen's Park until late this evening. Organizers of one such celebration at the Baitul Islam Mosque in Vaughan, Ont., expect to see about 5,000 people from across the province show up. Toronto will also see a day's worth of official celebrations, ending with a massive fireworks demonstration over Lake Ontario this evening. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
