Celebrating Canada Day in Innisfil
For more than 20 years, the Innisfil Lioness Club has hosted a community celebration for Canada Day.
And this year is no different.
“Back then there were no other events to give back to the community,” Lioness Tammy Marges said. “They wanted something free for families to do, and July 1 is also the Lioness’s birthday.”
The group was incorporated July 1, 1991, and continues to be active in the community.
This year, the same fun activities are planned, including kids’ games, a bouncy castle with slide, face-painting, crafts, free food and refreshments.
At noon, town dignitaries will be on hand for a flag-raising.
The event happens from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Innisfil Beach Road.
A few other Innisfil groups are also celebrating Canada’s birthday this weekend, with a parade at the Lefroy/Belle Ewart Legion on June 30 at 1:30 p.m. Kids are invited to decorate their bikes and trikes and meet at 1:15 p.m. at Arnold and Ewart streets. The parade ends at the Legion,
And Sandy Cove Acres is celebrating with its own parade through the park, on July 1 at 10 a.m., with veterans getting a place of honour.
