City of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Canada has a long history as a nation. In that time, we have heard stories about the evolution of industry, settlement, and inclusivity, as well as human triumph and tragedy. These stories are woven deeply into the Canada we know and understand today. Now more than ever, Canada Day gives us the opportunity to come together to celebrate the diversity that unites us in Hamilton, while supporting truthful, reconciling, and inclusive dialogue about our history. During this time, it’s important to reflect and discuss what we want our future to look like as Canadians and acknowledge where we have more work to do to ensure a healthy, safe, and more inclusive place for all.
The City of Hamilton is pleased to offer a free family friendly event with children’s recreation and arts activities at Bayfront Park.
The event will see a Food Truck Rally on-site with a selection of Ontario’s finest food trucks serving taters, chicken, tandoori, fish and chips, porchetta, ice cream, burgers and more!
In addition, visitors can check out the Hamilton Sports Zone with members of Hamilton’s favourite sport teams on-site including the Hamilton Bulldogs, Forge FC, Toronto Rock and Hamilton Honey Badgers.

Every three hours, the Canadian Red Cross (CRC) responds to a call for help in Canada. From conflict zones to communities affected by devastating disasters or health emergencies, the CRC uses this fund to respond to the needs of vulnerable communities within Canada and around the world. Without this fund, the CRC would also not be able to launch its various appeals (e.g., for Ukraine, Palestine, and Yemen). If you would like to sponsor us, volunteer two hours of your time at our booth on Canada Day, provide a service or product to raffle off, or get otherwise involved please reach out to Joanna Sulzycki at [email protected] .
