WASAGAMING — Parks Canada is inviting visitors to celebrate Canada’s 149th birthday at Riding Mountain National Park on Friday. Admission will be free all day.
Celebrations begin by welcoming 100 of Canada’s newest citizens in a citizenship ceremony at 11 a.m., followed by singing the national anthem and enjoying Canada Day cake.
Festivities continue with an afternoon of stage performances starting at 12:45 p.m. The program kicks off with Johnson Crook bringing alternative country music to the stage.
Additional performers include Indestructible, a local favourite with Latin rhythms, and children’s entertainer and Juno Award winner Norman Foote.
Finishing off the afternoon performances will be Matt Zimmerman & Guests from Brandon, with some classic blue-grass rock.
In addition to all of the on-stage festivities, there are many other activities, including face painting, a pancake breakfast, Parks Canada exhibits and fireworks to keep everyone busy and entertained throughout the day.
As the country nears the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017, the government invites all Canadians to experience the outdoors and learn more about our environment and history this summer.
Canada’s national parks and historic sites enable Canadians to experience our remarkable natural heritage and rich history in a special way and will play a big part in the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday next year.
