Heartfelt thanks to all the Canada Day Volunteers. We had almost 100 people sign up to serve as part of the choir, the BBQ, children’s activities, setting up the float, and being part of the parade. What an awesome response to serving our community.
Now, we need to hear from you so we can better plan for next year’s Canada Day. A survey was emailed to all Canada Day volunteers this week. If you didn’t get a survey or prefer to give your feedback anonymously, pick up a survey at the info desk.
