Estimates put attendance for today’s (Tuesday’s) Canada Day celebrations in Riverside Park at 30,000, and indications are it has come close to that. From the pancake breakfast to the international food fair, from speeches to Art in the Park, entertainment, cake, Provincial Heritage Fair and much, much more, it has been a day packed with fun and pride. The Armchair Mayor News captured some of it in pictures.
