Thompson will have a summer-time parade after all.

 

While the Nickel Days parade was cancelled along with the other events and midway, there will be a Canada Day Parade on Tuesday.

 

The parade will start at the Heritage North Museum and will head west on Thompson Drive, ending up at the Thompson Public Library.

 

Scout out your favorite spot, or join in the parade with a float, bicycle or motorcycle.

 

The Canada Day Committee is looking for local groups, businesses and individuals to register a float to show off their national pride.

 

There are a variety of prize categories including Best Service Club, Best Commercial, Best Recreation Group, Best Ethnic, Best Organizational, Best Decorated Bicycle, Best Decorate Motorcycle and Best Overall.

 

Registration forms are available at the TRCC, City Hall and the Thompson Neighborhood Renewal Corporation office at 117 Commercial Place, across from Days Inn and Suites.

 

Other Canada Day events are in the works.  

 

More details are expected to follow sometime today.
