Helpful tips for visitors planning a trip to Parliament Hill on Canada Day
OTTAWA — Planning a trip to Parliament Hill on Canada Day weekend? Here are some tips:
— Visitors are required to undergo screening, which involves passing through a metal detector and screening for restricted items.
— The restricted items list has been simplified: no weapons, no explosives, no alcohol, no fireworks and no bags over 35.5 centimetres by 19 centimetres.
— Strollers, coolers and lawn chairs are permitted, however visitors are encouraged to travel as lightly as possible, to avoid delays caused by additional screening measures.
