What are people in various parts of Canada doing on July 1st? Any plans?

Feasting on beaver.

Shame on you BC! You leave Mbop alone. I wonder if I can get any Saskatoon berries at Sainsburys?

I can mail u some (berries not beaver)

tut tut......you really are getting worse.
Does anyone have mary whitehouse's address??

We're not yet in Canada but are preparing by holding a bbq on the 1st and coinciding it with our 5th wedding anniversary (which is on the 14th July). I've got loads of Canadian flags and bunting. My neighbours are going to think I'm barmy!!!

Saint-Jean Baptiste (June 24) is the big day in these parts, so that's when the flags will be out. July 1 will probably pass unnoticed, except that some people might feel cheated that it's on a Saturday.

Sounds like a good idea. Are you having it BBQ'd, or just as it cums...sorry spelling again comes!

Guardian Unlimited is over there ------>

TRAFALGAR SQUARE London is the place we will be. Will have to wait until next year to celebrate it properly Canada House is putting on a big party from 2.30pm Sat June 30th, until late evening under the gaze of Lord Nelson (well not quite as he's covered up at the mo' having a wash and brush up!).

What occurs in Calgary on Canada Day??? Friends of ours will be there then and want to know where to go for the Cananda Day celebrations in the city.

No, the place to be is the Maple Leaf pub on Maiden Lane (Covent Garden). Not that you'll be able to get into the pub, or indeed anywhere near it. You will, however, be able to witness the spactacle of thousands of Canadians getting drunk politely in the street and being nice to each other. Take your own beer. When I went in 2000, the Metropolitan Police felt it necessary to have no less than two officers on hand. They got bored.

YES, when I was in London, the Maple Leaf pub was the place to be on 1st July. If you can get into the pub, it's packed full at opening time on that day. Aw, I miss London a lot... Here in Brampton we'll probably have a BBQ, Rhodes just bought a posh new one with side griddle etc.

Isn't she dead? :scared: :scared:
And are you really that desperate?

She threw a seven years ago.
