This Sunday, Canada hits the big 1-4-5 and CBC Music will celebrate by bringing you great music from the True North, strong and free.

CBC Music will offer up playlists, videos and more from your favourite Canadian artists. Scroll down for the complete rundown and links. Canadians also teamed up to build the ultimate summer playlist, a free stream of great summer songs for you to enjoy during whatever barbecues, beach parties or backyard antics you have planned.

On Canada Day, CBC Radio One presented the CBC Songwriter's Circle, hosted by Meg Wilcox. This concert featured performances by singer-songwriters from across Canada, including Deon Blyan, Ash Koley, Beth Moore, Jeffrey Piton, Bonnie Ste-Croix and David Vertesi.
