Although the COVID-19 pandemic has caused this year’s Canada Day to go “virtual,” it won’t dampen the spirit of the nation’s 153rd birthday, says the Canadian Heritage official in charge of coordinating the massive online celebration.
“Pivoting to a new direction after the minister (of Canadian Heritage) announced the cancellation of the physical event on Parliament Hill was a challenge, but an exciting one,” says Melanie Brault, director of planning for the National Capital celebrations.
