Celebrate Canada Day This Long Weekend

There are many events in the region for the Canada Day long weekend.

The City of Campbell River will be bringing back a temporary bike lane on Pier Street (Highway 19A), between the Maritime Heritage Centre and the crosswalk at Robert Ostler Park, for Canada Day.

On holiday Monday, from 9am to 7pm, the parking lane on the water side of Pier Street will be converted into a two-way bike lane.

It will connect the existing bike lane on Highway 19A to the south and help bring cyclists downtown more safely.

Robert Ostler Park will be running events from 11am to dusk - with the Campbell River Rotary Parade starting at 4pm - and fireworks shortly before 1030pm.

There will also be family events at Spirit Square.

The City of Courtenay is celebrating downtown - with a parade down 5th Street starting at 10am.

Events at Lewis Park run from 11am to 4pm.
