Sarah McLachlan to headline Canada Day on the Hill

Sarah McLachlan will headline both an afternoon and evening show during this year's Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill.

Also set to take the stage to celebrate Canada are So You Think You Can Dance Canada winner Nico Archambault, K'Naan, and Vancouver indie rockers Said the Whale, among other performers from across the country.

I'll be in Toronto for Canada Day this year, but have to admit Ottawa knows how to do it right. I had the pleasure of celebrating Canada Day in the capital in 1992 with Roch Voisine (still don't know who he is), in 2001 with Alanis Morissette, and in 2007 with Feist.

So if you've got the chance, put on something red and head to the Hill on July 1!
