Get Out Your Picnic Blankets

Canada Day is coming back to Victoria Park. All the complaints that traditional family-oriented celebrations have taken a back seat to other activities at the Festival of Lights have prompted City Council to revive this popular event. We are not intending to compete with the FoL, but the idea is to run a parallel, scaled-down alternative that will offer simple fun and entertainment for the whole family, a proper flag raising, singing of Oh Canada, and whatnot. That’s the gist of it for now. We have eleven months to plan exactly what will take place, but we’ve committed to the idea.
