#27 Celebrate New Year in Canada
According to CTV news posted on Dec 29, 2023,
The NYE fireworks show in Montreal's Old Port has been cancelled.
Montreal's annual New Year's Eve fireworks show in the Old Port has been canceled for the second consecutive year due to various factors, including a lack of funding from the city. Montréal en Fêtes, the nonprofit organizing the event, cited reasons such as the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation of production costs, challenges related to the winter vacation season, and financing issues. The cancellation marks the end of an era of free December festivities. Dimitri Soudas, chair of the nonprofit's board, mentioned that the Plante administration, led by Mayor Valerie Plante, did not contribute funding this year. The absence of the event has affected the holiday season in the Old Port, with some workers noting a lack of winter festivity feeling. Montréal en Fêtes had previously offered free activities throughout December, attracting over 200,000 people annually. The cancellation is permanent, making it the second consecutive year without New Year's Eve fireworks in Montreal.

This is something you should know about New Year's Eve in Canada.
Personally, unlike Japan, the nature of New Year's Eve in Canada is way more lively that has many fireworks and social gathering in typical cases. Unfortunately this article informed Montoreal annual fireworks has been cancelled, but mostly in my image, Canadian people are prone to go wild on the day by having a party outside or at home.
For me, I have been still missing Japanese style of New Year's Eve, I miss Kohaku Utagassen or comedy program which are Japanese TV programs. I miss Soba just before the countdown. I miss going to shrine right after the countdown. Eat sushi, see my friends in my hometown, or just chill with my family even though I have been here for 2 years and this is my 3rd time to have a new year.
This is actually my first time to feel comfortable to have new year because for the passed 2 years, I didn't have any good memories. For the first year, I felt uncomfortable of living with host family for some reasons. Second year, I was suffering from unstability of the work. I was about to be got laid off for some reasons. By all means, it is the first time to experience feeling secured, stable and comfortble year end. I am really proud of that I can end up being here today. I just have been having peaceful year end, one week holidays with full of enough mental stability which is as happy as can be. How was your year? How is your holiday going? This is going to be good time for self reflection. Anyways Hope you guys also have the wonderful news year. This is the end of this episode. Thanks for everyone that has the opportunity to listen to this podcast. we will see you soon in 2024. Finger crossed.
