Canada Day in Canmore -- wow -- exceeded our expectations. Truly a 'community' undertaking. Started off with a pancake breakfast that was sponsored by the Kiwanis, and served up by the Calgary Stampede 'caravan unit'. Free, with donations gladly accepted for charity. A 'run' for charity that started earlier this morning finished at the same spot with all the finishers being mentioned by name. We saw a real mixed crowd today, reflecting the nature of this community -- all ages at all stages, but -- generally all good role models as far as fitness seems to go.
Then, the parade at noon. Didn't expect a lot, but there was much content and the parade was of almost 1-1/2 hours duration. Very well done. People reserved their spot on the street by putting our their chairs (no need to stay with them), then come back at parade time.
Went down to Millennium Park for fireworks -- a nice display, but short (maybe they were tight on the budget). Anyway, a lot of folks showed up and it was enjoyable. Nice to be able to walk to everything!!!
