OTTAWA — The RCMP’s celebrated Musical Ride is almost as old as Canada itself.

Speaking at the RCMP stables east of downtown Ottawa last week, RCMP Chief Instructor Sgt. Derek Quilley said the show is a living, breathing symbol of the country. The special sunset ceremonies being performed in Ottawa this week ahead of Canada Day are a sweet slice of pure “Canadiana,” he said.

Canadian soccer fans will rally behind their team today as the nation heads into its first FIFA World Cup knockout stage match, taking on South Africa in a highly anticipated showdown.

The Portuguese forward failed to tally a goal as his side ended the group stage portion of the tournament with a scoreless draw against Colombia on Saturday night. That left Portugal in second place in Group K, two points behind Colombia. It’s the fifth time in the last six tournaments that Portugal has advanced to the knockout stage.

As the CN Tower marks its 50th anniversary, the city’s most recognizable landmark has become much more than a tourist attraction for members of Toronto’s South Asian Community. For many, the tower represents home, new beginnings and some of their happiest memories in Canada – a beacon of their Canadian dream.
