Canada's first century of confederation (1867-1967) is celebrated in a birthday party of Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Ontario, in live coverage hosted by Lloyd Robertson and Adrienne Clarkson. The previous evening's celebrations are reviewed in footage of the fireworks display on Parliament Hill. Footage of the July 1 celebrations includes: the opening of ceremonies by Jacques Zouvi, actor/director from Theatre de Nouveau Monde in Montreal, Quebec; hostess Judy LaMarsh, Secretary of State, welcoming all Canadians; the Ottawa Youth Band under the direction of [Peter Manly[ in conjunction with the Official Park Choir singing "Proudly We Praise Thee", composed and conducted by [Don Wright] as a tribute to Canada; the arrival of the royal party by motorcade; the hostess and Centennial Commissioner John Fisher greeting Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh; a nosegay and gifts presented to Her Majesty; "The Canada Song" sung by an elementary school choir from Ottawa led by troubador Bobby Gimby, the crowd singing "Happy Birthday Canada" led by the choir; and the Queen cutting Canada's birthday cake. Close-up shots show the 30-foot high cake topped by a Canadian flag and the number 100. After the royal party departs there are shots of the crowd of approximately 30,000 people. <50mn>
