Those visiting London in July can enjoy the spectacular celebrations associated with Canada Day.
Canada might be too far away for many Britons to travel to for its national day - but they could always head to the festivities in London here in the UK instead.
London's Canada Day event has been running for several years, attracting more 200,000 people to the capital in the process.
It falls on July 1st this year and the celebrations take place in the usual location of Trafalgar Square.
Travellers thinking of booking their
holiday insurance and heading to London can enjoy events such as the Trafalgar Cup street hockey tournament, demonstrations of Canadian cooking by top chefs and Canadian movie screenings.
Other activities include face painting, while some Britons might want to make sure they seize the opportunity to come face to face with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, better known as the Mounties.
Performances by top Canadian musicians will also take place during the day.
Last year's Canada Day in London featured concerts by the Stereos, Matt Grist, Amy Nelson, Daniel Bernhard, Gasoline Alley and Loaded Dice.
"Canada Day London is fast becoming a tradition in its own right and an important part of the capital's
summer calendar," comments James Wright, the Canadian High Commissioner to the UK.
