Jason Thorne, the town’s community services director, says he thinks it has more to do with the calendar than a lack of patriotism

“I would expect it is a product of Canada Day being on a Monday this year and providing for a true long weekend. I expect people have made other plans for their Canada Day which may include travelling elsewhere or spending time at their cottage,” Thorne said.

Thorne said there’s no lack of patriotic Canadians in the Sussex area and expects a good turnout for other Canada Day events scheduled in the community.
