From coast to coast to coast the usual festivities, parades and fireworks that accompany Canada Day have been cancelled in many communities this year because of COVID-19, but Canadians are still finding ways to mark the country’s birthday.
“On this particular day, I had a neighbour peak over the fence trying to figure out what I was doing,” said Martin. “It’s an amusing thing to watch, but when the video’s all together it actually kind of looks like an orchestra. It was pretty neat.” The lineup also includes Quebec-based artists Charlotte Cardin, Hubert Lenoir and Patrick Watson, as well as Inuit folk singer Elisapie.
John Adria, owner of Uncle John’s Fireworks which operates four stores in Alberta, said one group near Edmonton is planning a show but isn’t telling anyone in advance where the fireworks will be launched from. That way, he explained, they’ll prevent a crowd from gathering that would violate social-distancing rules.
Councillor Betty Lou Palko said the display will be launched from the high school football field and people will be allowed to gather in vehicles — parked five metres apart — in several nearby parking lots, but she said the town is small enough that folks will be able to watch the display from their homes.“I have young family visiting me so I’ll be able to ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ with them,” Palko said.
What country? Stop lying to people and do some real investigative reporting and try and redeem yourselves.
I was just talking about that yesterday wondering if there's still going to be fireworks in Vancouver or anything but i guess not.. better to be safe then sorry
