Join us for opening ceremonies with Indigenous drumming and flag raising with Mayor Ross Kentner at the flagpole, located at the entrance to the Harbour. We are honoured to once again welcome Heather McIntyre to share a special Indigenous welcome. The Goldenaires are back to sing the Canadian National Anthem during the raising of both the Canadian flag and the Every Child Matters Flag, followed by the Rotary Club’s Citizen of the Year award presentation. 

At 12:45 p.m, cast your eyes to the sky to watch the spectacular Dam Pub Air Show.
