Canada Day brought many fun (and chilly) memories for all of us this year! We started the day with the local Canada Day Parade that marched right through the middle of town. (Notice in the pictures the long sleeves and jackets--it was only about 45 degrees (F) on the first of July!!!) It was a bit different from parades back home, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The kids were showered with candy and big waves from the people passing by. After the parade, we made maple leaf sugar cookies and got everything ready for the church-wide picnic that evening. We had a good group come for the cookout and even a few visitors. We ate, played, sang, and had a special time of prayer. It was a fun day, and quite a cultural experience!

Mounties are an impressive site but nothing compares to old glory flying high.
