6 Beijing, China
For mix-and-mingle
types, the Canada China
Business Council hosts a
night of networking, fueled
by Canadian cocktails,
maple syrup and northern
nibbles. Last year’s event
also raised the roof with
an after-party featuring
Canadian DJs and bands.
7 Seoul, South Korea
Start your day with a hearty
Canadian breakfast of
bacon, eggs, toast and home
fries at the Rocky Mountain
Tavern. Stick around after
your morning meal: The
pub plays hockey games all
day long on Canada Day.
For another beloved Canuck
tradition, visit Tuesday night
to savour Seoul’s longest-
running wing night.
8 Melbourne, Australia
It’s hockey night in
Melbourne! Though it’s
actually held in June, the
fourth annual Canada Day
Classic at O’Brien Group
Arena delivers patriotic
pride, one slap shot at
a time. The head-to-head
action features two teams in
the Australian Ice Hockey
League: the Melbourne Ice
take on the Sydney Bears,
who’ve won the matchup
three years running. Don’t
be surprised if a few teddy
bears get tossed on the ice
too—it’s a tradition here.
9 Bangkok, Thailand
Swing by the city’s British
Club for a Canadian-themed
party that’s more rural fair
than big-city brouhaha. The
family-friendly festivities
include three-legged races,
bouncy castles, magicians
and ball hockey games. The
day ends with a traditional
backyard barbecue.
10 Fukuoka, Japan
This bustling coastal city
hosts Japan’s largest and
wildest Canuck celebration.
This year’s event promises
non-stop Canadian music
and prizes for the best
Canada-inspired outfit—
with “lumberjack shirts
and antlers” encouraged.
Tickets include food
tastings like lobster tails,
beef and poutine, washed
down with beer or Canada
Dry ginger ale.
