July 1st is Canada Day and that means community parades, fireworks, barbecues, lots of red and white everything and this year woolly hats!

On our morning walk Bart and I came across the gathering place for our communities Canada Day parade. Everyone was bustling around getting their vehicles ready and spectators were already staking out the perfect spot on the side-walk.

I was a little concerned about who , or should I say what? was moving in when I read the labels on the crates. Lots of local business participate, as do charitable organizations and police fire and almost everyone you can think of.

Despite the cool damp day there are lots of smiles and flag waving!and a great pancake breakfast in the park with real maple syrup ( of course!)

Happy Canada Day!
