Big celebrations are planned for Canada Day in local communities.
For Wawa, Municipal Recreation Coordinator Stacey White explains that includes the Goose Nest Market and Street Fair.
White notes there will be various things for kids, with Climb'n Fun back, but a little different.
In addition, White highlights music from Wawa Music Festival artists, as well as the 2nd annual Canada Day Bike Decorating Contest and Parade, which will be bigger than the first year.
Details of events can be found through "Wawa Recreation" on Facebook, but - due to the Restricted Fire Zone that bans open air burning - Wawa's fireworks are being postponed for another time.
As for Chapleau, Assistant Leisure and Cultural Services Director Carole Ouellette notes there are some new activities, focused at the waterfront.
Ouellette also highlights the duck race, as well as the kids bike parade and decorating contest - which starts at 12:30 at Cedar Grove, going to the pavilion for the opening ceremonies - and something special in the evening.
Ouellette assures plans are still to have fireworks at dusk, to end the night.
A link to the "Canada Day Celebration" Facebook page can be found through the Township of Chapleau Facebook page, though a schedule was also mailed out.
