The City of Thompson is getting ready to celebrate Canada Day with a full day of community events.

 

This year’s celebration will include the annual barbecue, along with a Canada Day parade carrying a World Soccer theme.

 

Mayor Colleen Smook says the theme is a way to celebrate the excitement around soccer while also recognizing the many different cultures represented in Thompson.

 

She says residents can expect plenty of activities throughout the day.

 

 

Smook says the celebration is meant to give families and residents a chance to come together, enjoy the holiday, and take part in a community event that is open to everyone.
