Bring your flags, find a spot and enjoy the parade - safely
Family, friends, and neighbours, get ready to line the sidewalks of Franklin Avenue with red, white and orange to enjoy the Canada Day Parade on July 1 at 10:30 a.m.
The parade will travel down Franklin Ave., beginning on Main St. and ending on Riedel St.
For community members seeking a quieter parade experience, find a spot along Main St. between Clearwater Dr. and Franklin Ave. for a sensory-friendly experience from 10:15 to 10:30 a.m.
There will be more free family events and activities happening too: keep an eye out for updates from MacDonald Island Park and other community organizations.
Reflect on Canada’s shared history
Let's celebrate Canada Day in a way that unites us as a community.
Acknowledge with gratitude that the land on which we live, work and play is Treaty 8 territory, the traditional and ancestral land of the Cree, Dene and the unceded territory of the Métis.
You can help move reconciliation forward in the region by:
- Taking time to listen and learn from Elders and Knowledge Keepers.
- Participating in community events and programs that honour, celebrate and share rich Indigenous cultures.
- Reading and reflecting on the Truth and Reconciliation report and the 94 Calls to Action.
- Taking the free online Indigenous Learning Series.
- Signing up for the It’s Time to Read Book Club to learn more about Indigenous history, culture and local Indigenous communities.
