Canada Day Cancelled by Weather | Ottawa News
Description
Canada Day in Ottawa got derailed by wild weather—fireworks canceled, streets flooded, and 26,000 homes plunged into darkness. Heavy rain, wind, and thunderstorms forced evacuations at Parliament Hill and LeBreton Flats, even grounding the Snowbirds’ final flyby. Drivers were warned to avoid roads, while Hydro Ottawa scrambled to restore power and traffic lights turned into four-way stops. The LRT held steady, though Heron station had minor flooding. While the region had been warned, Mother Nature still threw a curveball—reminding everyone to never underestimate the weather.
