Canada Day in Canmore

Community spirit shines through like no other place in the Rockies during Canmore’s Canada Day Celebrations.  On July 1, our community celebrates in a big way while retaining the small town feel of togetherness.

Celebrations start at 8 a.m. with our traditional pancake breakfast and Canada Day Fun Run and extend well into the evening with a spectacular Canada Day fireworks display. 

 

 

 

Will your float claim the Best Float ribbon?

Canada is turning 150 and we are celebrating. Gather your team, get creative and put together a float that will show us what you’ve got. The theme is “Looking back, looking forward”.

REGISTER NOW . Don’t delay!

Registrations will close on Saturday, June 24. No late registrations will be accepted. 

What will the judges be looking for? Thematic relevance, creative expression, creative effort and degree of decorating difficulty.

Ribbons will be awarded to:
• First Place Overall
• First Place Commercial/ Business
• First Place Non-Profit/ Youth Groups.

On your marks … get set … good luck!
