The sky over Pinafore Park won’t be lit up this Canada Day. As expected, the COVID-19 pandemic has pulled the plug on the traditional day-long festivities in the park to celebrate Canada’s birthday.
City manager Wendell Graves confirmed the cancellation to myFM News and said there was some outside-the-box thinking as to alternatives, none of which seem likely.
Graves says any online adaptation, while discussed, seems uncertain at this time.
Backyard festivities, following COVID-19 protocols of course, seem the appropriate way to celebrate Canada’s birthday this year.
