As the title suggests, we’re on the eve of another fantastic day for the whole community of Campbell River and guests with the arrival of July 1st! As the second part of the title clarifies, it took a few months of meetings prior to the big day to make it all happen! Enthusiastic, committed volunteers on their own or representing a wide range of organizations and businesses have been meeting in the early hours every Thursday since January at Firehall #1 to make Canada Day happen. It’s been an honour to witness that dedication to the community and to add my own energy on behalf of 97.3 The Eagle in helping make the Eagle Telus Stage entertainment in Ostler Park a reality.
Now that the day is almost upon us, there is a TON of information to share. Enjoy the videos of some of the entertainers you’ll see on the Eagle Telus Stage starting at 2:30pm below. I’ll also provide the link to the full list of entertainers. A HUGE thanks to BAMM Media for creating the Canada Day committee’s website for 2012. There, you’ll find the new parade route (and LAST MINUTE parade entry forms!), details on Kidsfest, and much, much more. Also, share with everyone that it’s FREE TRANSIT til 7pm on Canada Day in Campbell River!
Finally, if you’re ever thinking of putting on an event and want to know how to make it a success, here’s a fantastic article by one of the great new members of the committee, Mark Myles. HIGHLY recommended read: MARK MYLES: HOW TO PULL OFF A GREAT EVENT
Without further ado, here are the very informative Canada Day links for the fun this Sunday in Campbell River!
