The City of Peterborough has cancelled the 2020 Canada Day Parade on Wednesday, July 1st to help prevent the spread of illness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The health and well-being of residents is our priority,” says Peterborough mayor Diane Therrien. “During these difficult times, let’s celebrate Canada Day apart — but together.”
Therrien suggests Peterborough residents celebrate Canada Day with their household, and by decorating front porches or balconies as a way to celebrate with neighbours.
