Canada Day celebrated in style

The unpredictable rainy weather did not stop the attendees and performers from celebrating Canada Day.
On July 1, people across Winnipeg gathered to celebrate. At the centre of the city, The Forks held different activities and events for everyone — drumming workshops, giant-scaled board games, and food at the market. Many proudly wore their traditional attires, colours of the Canadian flag — some even wore the actual flag as a cape. Among the crowd were longtime residents celebrating decades of being in Canada as well as new Canadians who took the citizenship oath at the Forks earlier that day.
