In
Canada, New Year's traditions and celebrations vary from region to region. Generally, New Year's Eve (also known as 'New Year's Eve Day' or
Veille du Jour de l'An in French) in Canada is a social holiday. In major metropolitan areas such as
Toronto and
Montreal ,major celebrations with music and fireworks are often held at midnight. Another New Years extravaganza that attracts tens of thousands of people is the new years celebration in
Niagara Falls. Other common New Year's Eve celebrations such as late-night partying, sporting events and concerts are also major events in these cities and other places around Canada. In some areas, such as in rural
Quebec, people
ice fish and drink with their friends until the early hours of January 1.
On television, the sketch comedy troupe
Royal Canadian Air Farce had been known for their New Year's Eve specials on
CBC, which in addition before the start of their weekly television series, was one of their first forays into television after years on radio. Consequentially, the series finale of their television series was a New Year's Eve special on December 31, 2008, although due to their popularity, the CBC requested that they return for a New Year's Eve special for 2009.
