Parliament Hill: Canada Day

Roch Voisine Dept: OTTAWA - Thousands of people covered Parliament Hill in red and white on Sunday for Canada's 145th birthday, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Necks craned skyward for the traditional flypast of the Snowbirds and then all eyes turned to the musical performances including Feist, Roch Voisine and Simple Plan, who closed the noontime show and canadians watch the Canada Day show as they celebrate on Parliament Hill Sunday July 1, 2012 in Ottawa.
