黑马磁力 City鈥檚 annual Community Day Festival was an early celebration of Canada鈥檚 150th birthday.

The festival was held in Douglas Park on Saturday, June 17, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

City firefighters set up a number of attractions for kids, including a firefighter obstacle course that allowed kids to try out the hoses.

There was a kids activity zone, live music and dancing by local groups, drop-in street hockey, and a small farmers market.
