Happy Canada Day Edmonton!

Are you still looking for some fun ideas to celebrate our country's birthday?

The annual fireworks display will take place in Kinsmen Park, with a list of recommended viewing sites:

* Victoria Park (River Valley Road)
* Ezio Faraone Park (west entrance to High Level Bridge on 109 St. north)
* Dantzer’s Hill (below Queen Elizabeth Park)

Note: No viewing from Kinsmen Park

Viewing Areas Accessible on Foot Only (closed to vehicles):

* Access is restricted in Kinsmen Park, Walterdale Hill, High Level & Menzies Bridges after road closure times. Kinsmen playground and picnic area are closed on Canada Day.

Just remember that traffic can get a little busy after the fireworks, so be extra patient or do park & ride. City buses and LRT will be on extended schedules tonight to help get everyone home safely.
