The City of Williams Lake will host a city-wide “stay-apart to come-together” virtual Canada Day celebration on July 1 to mark the nation’s 153rd birthday.
Although the traditional event in Boitanio Park is cancelled this year due to COVID-19, we encourage everyone to gather their small social circles, hold a BBQ in the back yard and test their general knowledge of Canadiana via video, posted on www.facebook.com/CMRCWL and the City website at www.williamslake.ca/CanadaDay.
At noon, the Williams Lake Fire Department, RCMP and Central Cariboo Search & Rescue – joined by the Lakers Car Club – will also lead three separate processions throughout Williams Lake, followed by flyovers by members of the Williams Lake Flying Club at 1 p.m.
“It’s unfortunate we won’t be able to come together and celebrate Canada Day through the regular festivities and events that we all look forward to every year,” said Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb. “But we hope this virtual event will connect and inspire individual Canada Day celebrations throughout the City in people’s own homes and neighbourhoods.”
