Canada Day Celebrations at Cloverdale's Millenium Park 2010

Just thought I'd throw it out there that once again Canada Day celebrations are happening at the Millenium Park in Cloverdale, corner of 64th Avenue and 176th Street on July 1.

Festivities begin at 10am and last until 10:30 with the fireworks show. There's entertainment all day long on the stage and various activities going on in the park including a midway. Admission is free but if you want to go on the rides or buy food at the concession stands, bring money with you. Many people bring picnic lunch and dinner and their lawn chairs and stay all day.

Parking available on the fairgrounds around the racetrack and casino. Whatever you do, don't park in the Clover Crossing Mall across the street. They have big signs up at all the entrances warning you if you park there and leave the property without your car it will be towed. They have security guards working the parking lot all day keeping an eye on where people are going after they park in the mall's parking lot.

Bottom line is if you are not planning to attend the Canada Day celebrations, this is a very good intersection to avoid all day.

If you're interested in volunteering for the celebrations there is a link for volunteers at the above web page. You have about another week to sign up if interesting in volunteering.

What's happening in Cloverdale in September 2009

So what is happening around Cloverdale this month?

As far as I can figure out, not too much.

Of course, there is the annual Terry Fox run starting at 10am on Sunday Sept 13 at the Cloverdale Rec Centre - 6220 184 Street. Registration starts at 9am.

Usually the Legion's Saturday pancake breakfast donates their profits and collects donations.

Will update through the month if I hear of anything else.
