Canada Day in Canada
Do you do anything for it? If so, what does it entail? Is it the default back garden bbq or are there other things you are meant to do. Americans set off fireworks but here, apart from waving a little flags around or getting your kids face painted, is it an excuse to get bladdered?

Re: Canada Day in Canada
It's when quandaries like this that crop-up it's handy to have some cradles about the place.

Sometimes its a blessing being married to one
Not so much getting bladdered for us. We are off to the park with the kids, theres all sorts of stuff put on, games, face painting, hot diggety dogs, car shows, bands, that sort of stuff. Its lots of fun. After lunch the kids will nap so we can go to the fireworks in the evening. There will be the traditional bank holiday meat burning to be done too. Its just a fun family day. I hope the weather cooperates.

Re: Canada Day in Canada
I'd completely forgotten about Canada day until yesterday. It was a very pleasant surprise to find out I was going to get the day off. Woohoo... or something.

Re: Canada Day in Canada
I found this on wikipedia.
. . . professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford, Jennifer Welsh said of this: "Canada Day, like the country, is endlessly decentralized. There doesn't seem to be a central recipe for how to celebrate it — chalk it up to the nature of the federation."
So I guess we can make it up as we go along.

Re: Canada Day in Canada
I see Quebec had their national day last week so do they opt out of this one?

Re: Canada Day in Canada
Huge fireworks display in the village
A parade, some bands in the bandstand, some silly dancing. Some food. We are heading to Campbellford to see Elvis
