Canada Day is quickly approaching in our town and tradition is ready to return.
The Amherstburg Canada Day run/walk/wheel/Kids Dash is bigger than ever this year. More than 850 participants will fill our streets with the spirit for Canada’s 157th Birthday. The Amherstburg Fire Association will be cooling off participants at the turnaround, and we're hoping for the community to get together too!
The organizers want to spread the cheer and get the houses along the route to participate as well. Last year we were so impressed with residents who had sprinklers and water guns along the route for participants to enjoy. There were even a few houses that decorated in the Canadian Spirit. We have two “Canadian style” gift baskets to donate to the most spirited/decorated house along the route. Crank up the Tragically Hip, sidewalk chalk your driveways, and raise the flags! We want to see your spirit in celebrating the day.
We also want to say thank you. We understand this is incumbent residents’ morning. We plan to have the streets closed from 8 a.m.-11 a.m. and really appreciate your understanding.
All money raised from this event is going back directly to The Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission, Bryerswood Youth Optimist Camp, and Amherstburg Community Services. Also if you want to volunteer we are still looking for a few more so please feel free to contact Dan at dallaire27@hotmail.com or Molly: 519-796-9155.
