Back to SearchThe City of St. Catharines’ Canada Day celebrations will be on this year. Online, that is! Join the fun Wednesday, July 1 as the City collaborates with communities across the region to celebrate Canada like never before.
“The residents of St. Catharines have been diligent in their efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 and for many that’s meant marking birthdays and milestones a little differently,” said Community and Events Supervisor Brianne Wilson. “Our usual Canada Day at Rennie Park is a signature event for the community. While it will not be taking place in the park this year, our virtual celebration will mean residents can still join together to celebrate from the safety and comfort of their own homes.”
St. Catharines’ celebrations
The City is excited to host its first virtual Canada Day and invites everyone to enjoy activities and entertainment for all ages, including:
- O Canada performed by Melissa Shriner
- Remarks from award-winning town crier Mark Molnar
