It's been 145 years since Canada became a country.

From coast to coast Canadians are commemorating Canada Day.

In Regina, celebrations start in front of the legislative building at noon.

There are a number of activities going on; Western Canada's strongman competition, the Wascana Authority mascot challenge, and the great Canadian skip-off.

Live music will also be on hand tonight - Kenny Shields and Streetheart will perform on the mainstage at 9 p.m and fireworks will explode at 10:30 tonight.

More information on Canada Day activities can be found here.

Albert street will be closed just north of Regina Avenue from 9:30 p.m to 11:30 p.m.

Regina Transit will not be operating Sunday, but service will resume on the holiday Monday.
