Happy 148th Birthday Canada!

Canada Day at the Legislature is a celebration that honours Alberta's history and diversity through entertainment and activities for all ages.

There will be three main performance areas featuring some of the best local Alberta talent in music and dance. There will also be roving performers and interesting exhibits to enjoy throughout the Legislature Grounds and the North Grounds plaza.
