After a slight hiccup, Canada Day celebrations will once again take place over two days in 91原创.

Concerns with funding forced the 91原创 Canada Day Society to consider downsizing their celebration to only one day, but a recent surge in sponsors has allowed them to once again host events on both June 30 and July 1, making 91原创 the only two-day Canada Day celebration in all of Western Canada.

鈥淭hese things happen, but the board of directors worked really hard, some sponsors came forward, we made a few little readjustments and we鈥檙e ready for two days. We couldn鈥檛 let it go. We had to keep the tradition going,鈥� said Lilianne Fuller, 91原创 Canada Day Society media director.

With more than 50,000 people expected to come to the event, organizers are now looking for extra volunteers.

An orientation will be held at the McLeod Athletic Park picnic area on June 23 at 2 p.m. for those interested.

鈥淲ithout the generously of our volunteers, we would not be able to have this event for our Community,鈥� said Cheryl Tallman, Canada Day Society vice-president. 鈥淲e really have a great time meeting and working with our volunteers, and look forward to meeting all our new volunteers this year and seeing those who joined us last year return for another fun filled weekend.鈥�

This year the Canada Day Society has outdone themselves, hosting a number of exciting family events.

In addition to non-stop field entertainment and midway rides, both days will feature special shows and demonstrations. The Dogwood Pacesetters Canine Sports team will be presenting their dog show 鈥渃ome and watch the antics of your four-legged best friends,鈥� and the B.C. Lions will be stopping for a visit on July 1 from 2 to 3 p.m.

The Laughing Stock Ranch will be hosting pony rides for kids, and Lutini the magician will wonder the grounds performing magic tricks.

The LAMB Motoring Club will be hosting a Show 鈥楴鈥� Shine from 11-3 p.m.

Head over to the stage to enjoy live performances by Danny Echo, Steve Elliot & the Blue Suede Boys, Freeflow, Champagne Republic, Robyn & Ryleigh, ABRA Cadabra, Michael Buble impersonator Sway, and more.

On June 30 at 1 p.m. the first ever Voice of 91原创 contest will take the stage. The winner of this singing competition will receive $100 and a song demo recording session at Static Wave Studios. Sign up is available online.

Also new this year, on June 30 there will be a movie in the park at 9:45 p.m. and a fireworks celebration at 10:30 p.m. on July 1 only.

鈥淲e have something for everyone, it鈥檚 very family friendly. That鈥檚 what makes us a little bit different from other celebrations. Ours is for the whole family,鈥� Fuller said.

The event will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on June 30 and July 1 at McLeod Athletic Park (216 Street and 56 Avenue).
