With this being the last week before Canada Day this Sunday, we thought we’d provide readers in Outlook and the surrounding Lake Diefenbaker region with a complete list of activities going on in your community area.
In Outlook, things kick off at 8:00 am with a pancake breakfast at the Heritage Centre that goes until 10:00, with a cost of $5 for those 13 years and older, $2 for those aged 6-12, and free for kids younger than 6 years old. From 10:00 until noon, there will be a special fibre exhibit on display at the Outlook Art Gallery located in the town offices building. At 10:30, a community worship service will take place at the Civic Centre. Lunch will then be offered at the Co-op Marketplace from 11:00 to 1:00 pm at a cost of $5. At 1:00, you’ll want to snag a good spot to watch the Canada Day parade make its way around town before heading over to the Jim Kook Rec Plex grounds for the Multi-Cultural Fair taking place (follow the balloons), where there’ll be a Canada Day ceremony and cake cutting and activities to enjoy until 4:00. The fireworks presentation will take place behind the Rec Plex at approximately 10:30.
Down in the village of Elbow, a pancake breakfast from 8:00-10:00 am is kicking off the community celebrations at the rink at a cost of $10 for adults, $5 for kids 10 and under, and free for preschool ages. From there, the annual Fish Fry takes place at the rink from 5-7 pm at a cost of $15 for adults, $10 for those 12 years and younger, and free for kids 5 and under. A street dance on Elbow’s main street kicks off at 8:00 (beer gardens open at 7:00) with live music from the band ‘oooo la la’, offering musical covers of artists such as Meat Loaf, Heart, Loverboy and Stevie Nicks. Fireworks will blast off at approximately 10:30.
Wherever you celebrate Canada Day on July 1, we hope you do it with Canadian pride!
Happy Canada Day to everyone out there in the Lake Diefenbaker region!
