    Question Canada day Festivities?

    Hey everyone I was just wondering what sort of events are planned for July 1st?? I know about the fireworks at C.O.P, but is there anything major/minor going on during the day? Much thanks.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

    really? so early? I thought the celebration/family entertainment started at 7:00pm...?

    but regardless, parking will be impossible there... I'm not really familiar with that area, but where else could you go to watch outside of COP?

    Beginning at 5:30 most of the C-train stations in the north have shuttles going to COP and start coming back to the train stations once the fire works are over

    I'm entered in a street hockey tournament with 4 other friends. It includes dj's throughout the day, bbq, prizes. Then afterwards I think I'm just going to head up to COP with them to view the fireworks.
