Canada Day

Hey!

I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Canada Day!.

I had the opportunity to check out the festivities happening at the Sudbury Arena yesterday. Unfortunately the rain was coming down hard, but that didn't stop hundreds of people from coming down to enjoy the Canada Day Celebration inside the arena. The arena was jammed packed with people dressed in red and white, and it looked like everyone was having a really good time! Sara and I arrived at the arena around 11:00 am. Just in time for all the stage acts and the amazing smelling food. They had lots of food booths set up around the arena. Each booth featured food from a different ethnicity. For example they had an Italian booth, Greek booth, Chinese Booth etc. all set up with delicious looking food for people to enjoy. I was disappointed I didn’t have my wallet on me, because walking around for a couple hours smelling the amazing food sure made me hungry! I would of loved to try food from a different ethnicity, next time I know to always carry my wallet with me. They had a stage set up with live bands performing from different cultures. Next they had different dances from different cultures, including some of Sudburys own local talent from Happiness Is Dancing. I was able to catch a couple of the dancers including the Ukrainian dance and the Irish dance. It was very interesting to see the different types of dances for different cultures. There were tons of seating for people. They had tables set up on the floor, as well as seats in front of the stage. They also had the stands open for people to use, so there was plenty of seating for everyone. The diversity in Sudbury is endless, so it was amazing to see everyone come together on this very special day. Rain or shine Canada Day will always be a good time. I can't wait for next years Canada Day celebrations. :)
