Canada Day Parade Is Back On the Streets After a Two-Year Hiatus

With last year celebrated “at home” and 2020’s being cancelled, the annual Canada Day Parade toured through George Street with 20 different organizations leading the charge on Friday.

The parade began at Confederation Square Park and City Hall and ended at Morrow Park. The parade’s theme was “Together Again” in reference to the parade being in-person after being postponed for two years.

Pre-parade activities included the bike decorating contest, Canada Day tattoos and flags. The Electric City Swing band sang “O Canada” prior to the parade.

A “Happy Birthday Canada” cake at City Hall was featured and given out to anyone in attendance.

Groups such as the Lions Club, Peterborough Petes, Peterborough Paramedics, Peterborough Police Service, Peterborough Fire Services, Peterborough Century 21 Lakers and more took part in the return to the nation’s festivities.
