Crowds started arriving early on Parliament Hill on Saturday for a day-long celebration of Canada's 150th birthday.
There was a steady rainfall throughout the morning, creating huge puddles on the lawns where hundreds of thousands of visitors are expected for a weekend of festivities.
"Ankle deep," said Steve Robertson of Orangeville, On., who was in town with his family. "We got here early, we're ahead of the game."
The rain stopped ahead of the start of the official ceremonies on the Hill at noon, when the Prime Minister and his family, Prince Charles, the Governor-General, Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly and Perry Bellegarde, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, arrived and shook ?hands with visitors near the Centennial Flame.

Today is the 150th Anniversary the formation of Canada as a Dominion, an independent nation.
Once known as Dominion Day, it's now known as Canada Day.
Happy Birthday Canada! Best to Prime Minister Trudeau and all Canadians!!

Many happy returns 
We in Pittsburgh are especially appreciative for Mario Lemieux, Sidney Crosby, Mark Messier and a lot of very talented hockey players who have made the Penguins great.
