• Bouncy castles and more

The fireworks display will be set off from the North Pier at dusk, with July 2 set as the rain date, should the weather not co-operate.

“Canada Day in both Tiverton and Kincardine wouldn’t be possible without our wonderful service groups and volunteers helping us,” said tourism co-ordinator Kathryn Bruce. “This is really a celebration of both national and community spirit. We can’t wait to see everyone out in their red-and-white July 1!”
