On City Beat yesterday, Mayor Colleen Smook shared some details of what to watch out for during the Nickel Days weekend.

The Lions Parade has a different route this year, starting at the Corner of Station Road and Princeton Drive, heading south to Thompson Drive, where it will travel past the hospital and to the entrance at UCN.

Smook has a safety tip regarding the parade.

“There is no throwing candy off the floats at all. You have to walk along and you can hand out your candy or juice boxes or whatever, but definitely nothing thrown off any of the floats.”

Smook encouraged those heading to the TRCC for Nickel Days to avoid driving there, if possible, as parking in the area is limited.

The full schedule of events for the weekend can be found on the Nickel Days facebook page.
