City of Calgary Hours of Operation for Canada Day

We're adjusting our hours of operations for Canada Day on Thursday, July 1, 2021.

Canada Day at home celebrations

This year, The City of Calgary is inviting citizens to enjoy Canada Day safely from home and in their community with fun activities and entertainment for all ages. We’ve worked with our partners at the Calgary Public Library and CJSW 90.9FM to come up with free, safe and family-friendly entertainment for the whole day, whether you feel most comfortable celebrating at home or out in your community.

Stay safe in the heat

Drink plenty of water before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration. If you are outdoors, sit in the shade and take breaks in cool indoor spaces as needed. Look for a water bottle filling station - check out our map at Calgary.ca to find one closest to you.

Fireworks Show

Thanks to support from Canadian Heritage, July 1 will conclude with a fireworks show at 11 p.m. The fireworks will be launched from Tom Campbell Hill to allow as many citizens as possible to see the show from their homes, yards and neighbourhoods.

During the fireworks show, tune into CJSW 90.9FM or cjsw.com to listen to the musical soundtrack. If you can see Calgary’s downtown from your home, yard, sidewalk or neighbourhood you will be able to watch the fireworks live. If you can’t see the fireworks from your neighbourhood, you can watch or stream on Calgary.ca/CanadaDay.

Citizens are reminded to follow all City and provincial restrictions throughout Canada Day. Learn more at Calgary.ca/CanadaDay.
