Red maples, Niagara Falls, and Dr. Norman Bethune, these are the notable names linked to the country of Canada. On Thursday morning, Canada is celebrating its National Pavilion Day inside the World Expo park in Shanghai. Let's get in touch with the vibe.

Canadian singer Kreesha Turner started the day's celebration. Born to a Canadian father and a Jamaican mother, Kreesha joined a youth choir from a young age and began to realize her fascination with music. Her style ranges from R&B to blues, pop to jazz. The singer is one of Canada's proudest cultural exports.

The Canadian experience continues through fun and interactive activities inside the country's Pavilion. The three-story structure is the product of collaboration between the Government of Canada and Cirque du Soleil.

Through a dark corridor, visitors are introduced to the theme of the pavilion: "The Living City: Inclusive, Sustainable, Creative." The cities offer high quality of life for residents, and are hubs of cultural, social, economic and technological creativity. And this vigor is felt through a giant LED screen, on which natural scenes of Canada are projected.
