“Canada Day is a wonderful opportunity to come together, enjoy time with neighbours, and celebrate the community we are so fortunate to call home,” says Councillor Sue Heaton-Sherstobitoff, Chair of the Cultural and Civic Pride Committee. “This year’s event will have something for everyone, from family activities and live entertainment to new adult-friendly games and a special chalk art feature. We hope to see lots of people at Millennium Park & Ponds for a fun and welcoming celebration.”
