Canada Day

North Battleford celebrates Canada Day

Jul 1, 2024 | 4:47 PM

The rainy weather couldn’t dampen people’s spirit as music filled the Access Communications Centre on the country’s 157th birthday.

As visitors listened to classic tunes by Canadian bands, singers and songwriters, the community youth played, danced, ate and waved the maple leaf.

BattlefordsNOW was on scene to capture some of the frivolity.
