2020 Canada Day Parade cancelled

To help stop the spread of illness during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Canada Day Parade on July 1, 2020 has been cancelled.

“The health and wellbeing of residents is our priority. During these difficult times, let’s celebrate Canada Day apart – but together. Celebrate with your household. Be kind to others and practice physical distancing. Decorate your front porch or balcony as a way to celebrate with your neighbours.” said Mayor Diane Therrien. “Stay safe, Peterborough.”
