This year we're celebrating Canada Day together but apart, and our celebrations will look a bit different. The Municipality of Clarington still wants the community to enjoy a safe and fun Canada Day, and to celebrate our great and resilient country.
Here's how you can participate:
- Order your free Canada Day celebration kit. Register for your celebration kit and a date, time and location for a contact-free pickup. Kits include family-friendly items and an activity booklet with ideas for fun games, crafts, snacks and more! Please note that celebration kits are now sold out.
- Decorate your front lawn and share your pictures and videos. In Clarington, we're working hard to spread love, and we want to see what that means to you. Send us your pictures or short videos of how you and your family #SpreadLove! Email to canadaday@clarington.net. The submitted images and videos will be used to create a video showcasing Clarington's Canada Day spirit.
- Tune in to Canada Day the Durham Way on Wednesday, July 1 from 2 to 5 p.m. This collaborative virtual event—in co-operation with the Region of Durham and all eight local-area municipalities—will highlight unique attractions and talents that drive our vibrant arts and culture scene.

Fireworks Safety
The Municipality of Clarington would like to remind residents about safety when discharging fireworks. The emergency order banning public gatherings of more than five people remains in place as we continue to follow all public health guidelines to flatten the curve of COVID-19. We do not recommend any informal neighbourhood display of fireworks. If you choose to have fireworks, please follow all the safety guidelines identified on our Fireworks Safety web page. We know that now more than ever, residents need a reason to celebrate, but please remember we are still in a pandemic, and your choices will impact others. Be safe.
