Countdown to the New Year and kick off the Ottawa 2017 festivities during an energizing and momentum-building event!
Join us on December 31, 2016, for this early-evening, family-friendly celebration that will include the lighting of a spectacular cauldron at Ottawa City Hall. The sparking of this special landmark will cue hundreds of Ottawa-area students to form a human chain, connecting young people from diverse backgrounds and weaving a line of youthful optimism through downtown Ottawa streets.
The evening will be crowned by a musical show and fireworks on Parliament Hill.
The Ottawa 2017 Bureau is working closely with the schoolboards and indigenous community to recruit the participating students.
