All are welcome to the Douro Canada Day Parade scheduled for July 1 at 2:30 p.m., announced the Township of Douro-Dummer on Monday.

This year’s theme is ‘Only in Douro,’ as the parade is open for anyone to enter.

“We are excited to bring the community back together once again to celebrate as neighbours and friends,” said Julie Chatten, co-organizer. “We are excited to celebrate everything we love about being Canadian as well as celebrating our community.”

“We’re hoping for a large celebration that brings together people of all ages,‘ Alyssa Heffernan, co-organizer. With so many new families in the community, it’s a great chance for parents, kids and grandparents to come together.”
