Canada Day events cancelled in La Ronge
Canada Day festivities are enjoyed by all in the tri-communities, but this year residents will have to accept a much quieter holiday.
“We’re encouraging people to go out and celebrate in their own backyard due to COVID,” said La Ronge Parks and Recreation Manager Tonia Logan. “Bringing people together is just not the right time this year.”
During a typical year, the Kikinahk Friendship Centre would host a pancake breakfast, which would be followed by a parade along La Ronge Ave. The urban reserve and Patterson Park serve as the setting for the La Ronge Children’s Festival in the afternoon, while residents gather near the beach and on the lake for a firework show at dusk.
All of the above mentioned events have been cancelled this year. Organizers of the La Ronge Children’s Festival decided to cancel back in April.
