Canada Day at the Alberta Legislature
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009
7:00 am - 5:00 pm
The Legislature is the place to be if you’re interested in free family fun this Canada Day – and who isn’t? As usual, the festivities will kick off at 7a.m. with a pancake breakfast followed closely by the Canada Day 15km Race and 2.5 km Fun Run. What a way to work off those pancakes.
The afternoon will be jam-packed with events and activities such as K-9 Korruption Dog Sports and Kent Wong the Magician that are sure to keep your family amazed. As well, a variety of musical and dance entertainment will run throughout the afternoon. As always, if you are looking for a little culture or a whole lot of history the open house of the majestic Legislature Building is sure to please. A couple of “must sees” include taking a trip to the pedway to enjoy the LEGOslature, a fun and spectacular model of the Legislature Building standing a metre tall and consisting of 120,000 parts and featuring Making Their Mark Exhibit.
Visit the grounds on Canada Day and enter a draw to win fabulous prizes.
