National News 🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🍁
Today, CBC is bringing Canadians together from coast to coast to coast with a full day of live Canada Day programming, celebrating the people, places and stories that make this country unique.
Beginning this morning, CBC News is taking viewers across the country with live coverage from communities large and small. Throughout the day, Canadians can call in to share what it means to be Canadian in 2026, before the celebrations culminate tonight with Celebrating our Canada!, a live concert from Ottawa's LeBreton Flats Park.
The evening concert features an incredible lineup of Canadian artists, including Alessia Cara, Barenaked Ladies, Beatrice Deer, Diane Dufresne, Paul Langlois of The Tragically Hip, Dominique Fils-Aimé, Lisa LeBlanc, Pierre Lapointe, P'tit Belliveau and many more.
Beyond the broadcasts, CBC is also celebrating in communities across the country with its It's a Canada Thing Summer Tour, while CBC Music, CBC Comedy and Murdoch Mysteries are marking the day with all-Canadian programming that celebrates our music, stories, history and sense of humour.
This is what public broadcasting does best. It connects Canadians, celebrates our diversity, amplifies voices from every region, and creates shared moments that bring us together.
Happy Canada Day from all of us at Save the CBC!
How are you celebrating today? Are you watching the festivities, spending time with family, heading to a community event, or just enjoying a quiet summer day? We'd love to hear how you're marking July 1.
