We usually leave our plans for Canada Day as last minute since we can never decide on what to do. This year we want to celebrate 150 years with a day filled with fun family events and activities. There are so many celebrations and events to attend depending on what you are into.
All events I have listed are family friendly and you can’t go wrong for a weekend of fun.

However, you choose to spend the day, have fun and enjoy.
I miss being at home to celebrate Canada Day with my family. I remember going to some of these events with family and friends and having so much fun.
there is so much going on all weekend long, we will probably stay close to home for Canada Day and then head downtown another day for one of these events
