It is that time again!  Canada Day is right around the corner and this year it lies on a Tuesday!  But if you think a mid-week holiday is going to stop all full-blown celebration of our country independence then you are wrong! This year's Canada Day celebration holds true to tradition being held in Pinafore Park and will feature a full day of events: like an appearance by Frozen's Queen Elsa who will be singing and telling stories, pony rides, face painting, and Reptile Zoo presentation that will be happening in the band shell that day. 

Also expect to see a full vendor's area featuring clothing, accessories, weight loss, jewelry, baked goods (who doesn't like baked goods!), teas, flags, toys, and so much more!

All day food will be served from Kuma Catering, Lions, Kinsmen, Rotary and Optimist Clubs.  But, that's if you are still hungry after the Lion's Club annual pancake breakfast!

As always the splash pad will be flowing, the play ground will be jammin', and the myFM cruiser will be on scene to make the day complete! 

And all of this is just a taste of what is to be offered, so check out the handy schedules below and make an itinerary for yourself!
