The Canada Day Parade welcomes both community groups and commercial floats. Commercial floats will be charged a fee of $125 with fees payable online. Each parade entry will require a representative to attend a safety orientation meeting on June 17 from 11 a.m. to noon at the Board Room of Healthy Planet Arena (911 Monaghan Rd.)

Parade entry forms are available online, and paper copies are available at the Peterborough Sport & Wellness Centre (775 Brealey Dr.), and City Hall (500 George St. N.) Entries will be accepted until June 9 at 4:30 p.m.

“This year's parade will be something for everyone to enjoy. It is more important than ever for our community to celebrate Canada's 156th birthday as the return to normal continues. Cogeco proudly supports the parade through our sponsorship and live coverage on YourTV,” said David Feeley, senior manager at YourTV.

The Canada Day Parade organizing committee encourages the community to wear red and white to celebrate Canada’s birthday.
