“Canada Day is my favourite day. I hope it’s yours,” said MP Dan Albas.
“This country that we call home is the best country in the entire world,” said MLA Dan Ashton.
“There are so many things that makes us Canadians,” said Mayor Toni Boot. “It’s all of the people that are here and the people that came before and the people that fought to make Canada a safe place to live.”
The event was organized by the Summerland Legion and the Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary.
