Londoners brave the heat to celebrate Canada's 159th birthday

Take a look at this year's celebrations in downtown London, Ont.

Londoners answer: Where is one place in Canada everyone should visit?

The heat was no match for Londoners heading out to celebrate Canada Day on Wednesday.

Plenty of red and white covered Dundas Place in the city's downtown as people checked out the full-day of celebrations hosted by the London Heritage Council.

A mix of cultural performers, food trucks, local artisans and activities lined the streets, giving lots to explore.

Dundas Place celebrations continue until 11 p.m., and nearby fireworks at Harris Park will light up at 10 p.m.
