It's CANADA DAY!
🇨🇦 Canada Has the Most Lakes — By Far
Canada is home to over half of the world’s natural lakes. Seriously. We’ve got more lakes than any other country—and some are big enough to feel like seas.
🏒 We Invented More Than Just Hockey
Sure, hockey is our pride and joy—but did you know Canadians also gave the world the electric wheelchair, peanut butter, and the zipper? You’re welcome, world.
😊 We’re Crazy Polite—And Proud of It
Canadians have a global rep for being kind and polite. And honestly, we’ll take that stereotype. If saying “sorry” too much is our biggest flaw, we’ll own it with a smile.
🌊 We’ve Got the World’s Longest Coastline
From the Pacific to the Arctic to the Atlantic, Canada stretches along 243,000 km of stunning shoreline. That’s a whole lot of breathtaking views—and seafood!
Our teenie tiny village will be celebrating! The fire department will be cooking a pancake breakfast then around noon there will be a parade with Firetrucks, horses and kids on bikes from the High School to the water park in James McMynn park. With races, and a band. There will be a big blowout BBQ too! They are expecting to cook ribs, burgers, chicken and hot dogs and there will be some terrific salads, and (of course) CAKE for desert! Later in the evening and starting around 7:30 there will be Rocking Ronny's Band (best rock and roll ever) and a beer garden AND FIREWORKS! Mom's not sure if she will be able to attend the whole thing. Alex has to head to Saskatchewan and will be gone! But she can see the fireworks from our house! The big excitement and the most fun is the RIVER and TUBING!
