Canada Day in the Park schedule unveiled

Prince George’s annual Canada Day Celebration is returning in a familiar format.

Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park will be open from 11:00 – 6:00 where thousands will enjoy entertainment, food, vendors, a kids’ zone, and Canada’s 157th birthday.

The city is still accepting applications from marketplace vendors “to sell their wares and for organizations to promote their activities.”
