Oh Canada

Oh Canada Day organizers are applying the finishing touches to the ‘2006 Canada Day’ celebrations set to go Saturday, July 1, at the North Bay Waterfront.

Last year the celebrations were hampered by bad weather that eventually led to the cancellation of the fireworks, but and organizers are crossing their fingers that the weather will hold up.

Once again the format will move away from the traditional parade along Main Street, moving towards fun for the whole family.

The line up of events:

8:00 a.m. Road Race Registration - ACT Shelter
9:00 a.m. Canada Day Road Race (5 & 10km)

12:00 p.m. Dignitary Speeches - ACT Shelter

The fireworks finale for 2006 promise to be quite the spectacular event in the sky as the funds from last year are to be applied to this year’s purse.
