Canada Day festivities in PG right around the corner

The City of Prince George is making final preparations for another Canada Day celebration at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m on Tuesday.

Opening ceremonies at the bandshell start at noon with an opening from host first nation Elder Lenora White and a cake cutting to recognize Canada’s 158th anniversary at 12:30 p.m.

The marketplace, food pavilion, and kids zone will also be open.

This year, the City is also offering a free shuttle between the Canfor Leisure Pool and Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park for residents who don’t want to fight for a parking spot.

In addition, the Northern Health Connections shuttle will arrive on 7th Avenue outside the pool every half hour.

The city is not hosting fireworks this year due to the current BC Wildfire burning restrictions.

Here is a list of the following sponsors:
