    Celebrating Canada Day in London

    London, England, not London Ontartio

    Canada House is a Greek Revival style building fronting onto Trafalgar Square in London, built between 1824 and 1827 and acquired by the Canadian Government in 1923. The offices were closed on Thursday 1st July for the Canada Day holiday, when Canada takes over the adjacent Trafalgar Square for the annual Canada Day celebrations.

    The formal opening was performed by His Excellency James Wright, High Commissioner of Canada in England.

    The Canadian Tenors sang "Oh Canada" at the opening ceremony. They had just arrived from singing at the G8 and G20 summits and were rushng back to Canada to sing to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

    The High Commissioner and his wife with two Mounties and a Hockey player.

    An overview of the event, with a Street Hockey tournament and Canadian musicians on stage. A reasonable substitute for spending the day on Dundas Square, Toronto

    The hockey tournament quickly got going.

    Your guides for the day, Chas and myself.
    More to follow shortly.
