The cancellation of Nickel Days was announced last week.

Mayor Colleen Smook said on City Beat yesterday that, while we’ll miss the summer festival, the TRCC is needed more by the wildfire evacuees.

She talks here about the status of a couple other local events.

“The organizations of the National Indigenous Peoples Day say those events will proceed on June 21st. Canada Day celebrations are a little bit harder to predict. The staff that’s in charge, they sort of got everything on hold because right now, with the fire ban, they can’t even have the fireworks.”

Smook said it could be another week or so before a final decision can be made regarding local Canada Day celebrations.
