The clouds faded away just a few hours before the start of this years Canada Day Parade and we were left with a spectacular, warm, sunny July day for what many consider Apsley’s best parade in years. We all thank Aunt Dar for another job well done as the M.C. for the parade, as well as all the organizing staff for their great effort. It really showed as children, adults, and seniors crowded the roadside with smiles, cheers, and the odd water balloon. Rosalie McCall (the Grand Marshall) driven by Roger Challinor, started the parade followed by 49 entries which made this our largest parade yet. A big thank you to all who participated! After the parade everyone who could, hung out at the Lion’s Park to consume hot dogs and hamburgs from the Lion’s Booth and greet the participants and the friends from the community.. Cal Taillefer was seen with his receipt book getting donations for the Medical Centre extension and talking to the members of the council and other important people. In the evening after the Canada Day Ceremony, many people made their way to the Legion to indulge in a steak dinner and perhaps a brew or two. This event had an excellent turn out as the Legion was packed with people. Thanks to everyone who came out to support out Legion.
