OTTAWA, CANADA (CNN) - People have all sorts of creative ways to celebrate birthdays, but this one takes the cake.

A Canadian woman decided to tie herself to a giant bunch of balloons and float in the sky.

It’s part of a publicity stunt to promote Canada’s 150th birthday.

That’s not until next year, but Thursday marks the 150-day countdown.

Don’t try this at home, this woman is a professional skydiver.

She was also tethered to the ground the whole time.

(And she was from Ottawa!!! :slight_smile:

Nope… Not at all.

In general, Ottawa is known as the town that fun forgot :stuck_out_tongue:

Most people here either work for the Federal Government or in high tech. Neither demographic is really the ‘wacky stuff’ type of demographic.

Nice that she’s giving us a better international reputation!
