Canada Day's going to be busy down here on Queens Quay

We couldn't help but notice that a whack of events are now cancelled for Canada Day in light of the city strike.

The cancelled events include:

* Ashbridges Bay Fireworks
* Canada Day Event, Earlscourt Park
* Somali-Canada Day, Earl Bales Park
* Peanut Town Festival, Oriole Park - North
* East York Toronto Canada Day, Stan Wadlow Park
* Shomoy Mela, Detonia Park
* Canada Day Celebrations, Thompson Memorial Park/ Miliken District Park
* Canada Day Celebration, St.James Park
* New Country Canada Day Jam, Woodbine Park
* 16th Annual Neighbours Together, Riverdale Park East
* Canada Day Festival, Kew Gardens
* Canada Day, Mel Lastman Square

All City-run scheduled events at Nathan Phillips Square, Metro Square, other civic squares and in parks have been cancelled due to the labour disruption. Some large special events that are not organized by the City are going ahead as scheduled.

So.. that leaves our neighbourhood as one o the places left to go to for huge public event.

Luckily, the folks at Harbourfront Centre have big plans for Wednesday. See their plans here. It includes a lot of activities and an impressive musical lineup that starts with the Regent Park Band and ends in the evening with Chad VanGaalen at 8 p.m. and the Constantines at 9:30 p.m.

Don't forget that the Festival of Fire is on at Ontario Place (on Saturday the 27th and on Canada Day). You can buy tickets here or you can find a spot on Queens Quay area to watch the fireworks.
