On July 1st, Canada Day, the Village of Shawnigan Lake will come alive in celebration of Canada’s 144th birthday!
The day will begin with a pancake breakfast at the Malahat Legion Hall on Shawnigan Mill Bay Road from 9-11am. It will be hosted by the Legion and the Mill Bay Lions Club. Following breakfast, Legion Members will form a colour party, raise the Canadian flag, and lead us in O Canada!
Next a short parade will leave the Cairn Park, across the road from the Legion hall, and travel down to the Village entering the Elsie Miles grounds. Children can decorate their bicycles and wagons and participate in the parade along with local dignitaries, organizations and businesses! 
The sounds of the Malaika Marimba Band on stage will get you dancing as you come on the grounds to join the fun! There will be games, prizes, draws, children’s races, the Rotary concession and so much more!! The Kids Can Build tent is always a popular place where the children construct a project with the pre-cut wood. The Seeds and Salt Theatre Troupe will be presenting a short theatre performance on historical happenings on Vancouver Island. A huge birthday cake will be cut so everyone will enjoy a piece.
This annual event is always held on Canada Day and is hosted by the Shawnigan Lake Community Association with assistance from the Shawnigan Lake Community Centre and Kerry Park Recreation Centre. Funding is provided by local donations and the BC Gaming Commission. Some activities will be fundraisers to support local youth groups.
Dress in Canada’s colours and bring the whole family to celebrate our nation’s birthday!
