Tofield celebrates Canada Day with great pride
On Sunday, July 1 as Canada celebrated its birthday across the nation, Tofield and area participated in it too, by bringing in festivities from the morning in keeping with this year’s theme: Proud to be Canadian.
From 9 a.m. to noon, there was a Pancake Breakfast on Main Street with Beaverhill Brass Quintet entertaining the crowd at the Community Hall.
The Tofield Community Church hosted a non-denominational service, followed by a barbecue lunch.
Between noon and 1 p.m. the Main Street was closed off, with community members getting their floats ready for the parade at 1 p.m.
It was a great 30-minute-long celebration as floats representing the various local businesses and clubs in the community took part.
From the RCMP and Fire Department to the Town and Beaver County, the floats had one aim: to celebrate the Canadian spirit and spread joy among the kids as they distributed candies and freezies.
