Canada Day Celebrations July 2008

Canada Day arrived with cloudy skies and smoke in the air from forest fires. These conditions did not deter the hearty 'Northerner' crowds from attending the Annual Canada Day Parade. Participants included the children's bike parade escorted by the Lac La Ronge Region Fire Department; various organizations/agency/business floats and stilt walkers and unicycle performers who have been taking training through a local community school project.
