Join us for the celebration of Canada's 150th birthday.  Starting with a multi-k Fun Run in the park at 9:00am, there will be all kinds of family friendly activities for the whole community. Old favourites like the pancake breakfast at the AWG and Canada Day Parade are sure to be a hit.  The Civic Ceremony under the Big Top Tent and CIBC Citizenship Reaffirmation Ceremony will kick off the afternoon's events, with bouncers, games and food downtown in Iqaluit Square. Evening entertainment featuring great live music with backdrop of the beach will carry us through the evening.  We can't wait to celebrate with you!
