Hit country music couple, Rosewood Ave., will be headlining Timmins’ Canada Day celebrations this year. The duo is taking over the stage at Hollinger Park along with a great line-up of local talent. A full day of live entertainment is planned with performances by ColdWater, Leslie Anne & The Trail Blazers, The Shaftmen, The Mulligans, Failed Attempt, and Rosewood Ave.
Hollinger Park will be packed with a variety of bouncers and kids mini paddle boats! Plus face painting, inflatable axe throwing, zorb balls, and an inflatable playland for toddlers. Residents can splash around in the Hollinger Splash Pad or head over and play a game of free mini putt and stroll through the vendors market.
The City has also teamed up with McIntyre Catering to provide complimentary hamburgers, hotdogs, or a vegetarian option, with bottled water, while quantities last. Plus, free freezies and Canada Day cupcakes.
The celebration starts at noon at Hollinger Park, with activities and music starting at 7:00 p.m. at Gillies Lake. This year’s festivities include a special tribute to Mr. Canada, Karl Habla, with the annual Canada Day Walk starting at Hollinger Park this year and heading to Gillies Lake for more fun activities with Northern College and an impressive fireworks display over the water. Grab your spot early. Fireworks go off with a boom just after sunset at 9:45 p.m.
“The City is currently recruiting volunteers,” says Karen Bachmann, Director of Cultural Services. “We need help making sure Canada Day goes off without a hitch. It’s a great opportunity for service groups and students who need hours. The volunteer form is available on our website.”
