“We are excited to be able to present live programming in Amherstburg again,” said Mayor Aldo DiCarlo. “Canada Day has always been a special tradition to celebrate in our community. We look forward to hosting Canada Day for our residents and visitors again.”
Festivities will begin with “the nation’s most patriotic run/walk,” the Canada D’Eh 5K Run.
Amherstburg’s Mighty Machines display will be open from 12 pm to 6 pm in Toddy Jones Park, along with a legacy mural project and free birthday cupcakes.
