HONOURING OUR NATION – Canada Day festivities went on despite the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was a more grassroots-type celebration. The Canadian Rangers arranged a drive around Lewes Boulevard on Wednesday. The Rangers had a horse-drawn wagon and people walking, with a lead vehicle playing music. People were lined up along the way appreciating the parade. Other communities staged their own parades as well.

REMEMBERING THEIR SACRIFICES – Members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 254 Whitehorse Legion laid wreaths on the graves of military veterans and RCMP members at the Grey Mountain Cemetery and the Pioneer Cemetery on Canada Day. The Remembrance Day wreaths are normally placed after the snow goes, but with the COVID-19 restrictions, they had to wait for clearance to do it. Here, Joe Mewett places a wreath in the Grey Mountain Cemetery.
