That's a finale: How you captured Ottawa's Canada Day fireworks
This year's Canada Day fireworks display lasted 20 minutes and 17 seconds
For many people, long lines threatened to spoil the Canada Day party in downtown Ottawa Saturday. But there was one thing revellers seemed to agree on.
This year's fireworks show was a sight to behold.
The rain let up and 15,000 individual fireworks blasted into the heavens from five different locations.
No matter where people watched, they found their eyes glued to the sky.
