Faces of Multi-Culturalism


Our economy has an agricultural base. The first to farm our valley were Japanese and Mennonite immigrants. Today, there is a healthy mix with Dutch and East Indians adding to the soup pot.

 The Scots do not have a corner on bagpipes, but you could say that they are primarily responsible. They seem appropriate in a parade.


This fellow seemed a bit eccentric but was having fun and was entertaining the crowd as he rode his bicycle with hands only for juggling the hackey sacks.


Medieval games seem to be attractive enough to start a club.


Three miles of sword play and jousting is a thirsty business.


Minus the flag, this is a very typical sight in our town.


I don't think this is the typical 'Wendy' that Dave Thomas had in mind when he first started this hamburger franchise.


What is a parade without First Nations representation? I would give recognition to this particular band but my keyboard does not have the right characters to spell it the correct way. It was nice to see the elder riding on the 'float' and the young men and women doing all the dancing.


Bollywood comes to the Canada Day Parade.
