HAPPY CANADA DAY

I made it downtown to the beginning of the BIG Canada Day Parade.  (It was actually the longest most colourful parade I have seen in Whitehorse!)  And who were participants but Emerson & Alanna.  They were part of their Daycare Float (although they were not on any float but had to walk the parade route).  Here they are sporting the T-Shirts from 3-H Preschool, Canada flags on their face, balloons, flags to wave and treat bags to pass out to spectators once the parade starts.

And across the street they go to join their group.  The beginning of the Parade is a waiting game.

The Preschool section was part of the Filipino section of the parade.  Although you cannot see the float above, you can see the colourful decorations that were on this float.

 And there they waited for the parade to begin.

This is the banner they walked behind ... again, waiting for the parade to begin.  Well, finally the parade began and off they went.

A couple of hours later I met Joan and Debbie at Shipyards Park to celebrate ... as you can see ... in the rain.  We wandered a bit but didn't stay too too long.  Ended up at Boston Pizza, meeting Gail there for a drink and bite to eat.  

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!
