Having the chance to witness the Northern Lights in person is on most people’s ‘must see’ bucket list.
For some lucky Canadians, the spectacular light show hit their own backyards this past St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
From British Columbia and Alberta to Ontario and Quebec up to the Northwest Territories and Yukon, the recent Northern Lights show was viewed by many Canadians.
But in case you missed it, check out some of the incredible photos and videos from across the country.
