Canada Day event

Here at FOY once a year there is a Canada Day event. Serendipity again – we happened to be here when it was celebrated and friends Bruce and Pam signed us up at a table of 14. It was pot luck and there were about 280 people there. The organization was impressive – a parade of Canadian Provincial and Territorial flags with description of what is on each flag. It is intriguing to me that many of the flags have a union jack on them and most have the cross of St George. We sang the Star Spangled Banner with its war like words and then O Canada. There were well rehearsed funny skits about Champlain and Sir John A MacDonald. Then there was a choir singing popular Canadian songs and there were door prizes in which Penny won a beautiful wine bottle. An enjoyable well planned evening.
