Happy Canada Day
Hello everyone, welcome to the on-line version of the Cottage Country Report …
Canada Day certainly rules its weekend this year and anyone looking for something to do on Sunday needn’t go far with almost every municipality featuring activities for all ages. As usual, the range of events on neighbouring days is a lot thinner than other weekends because of all the Canada Day happenings… Even many of our sometimes “stand alone” events may be enfolded or claimed by Canada Day event planners…
On the list…

Please anticipate delays and be patient on the roads this weekend and of course be mindful of all the other traditional cautions that go with driving, boating and summer sporting activities…
