Canada Day kicks off in Meaford at 9 a.m. at Market Square, the parking area beside Meaford Hall. From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., the Military Family Resource Centre will serve up the popular Canada Day breakfast of pancakes and sausages. Come early, so you’re ready for the flag raising ceremony and still have room for the Canada Day cake, at 11 a.m.
Activities continue on through the day, with a downtown yard sale, dog tricks for Beautiful Joe, a Library obstacle race, crafts and more. Beginning in the afternoon, enjoy live music from the Shane Cloutier band and Bored of Education.
Then, as dusk falls, find a spot at the waterfront to take in the spectacular Meaford tradition of fireworks over Georgian Bay.
