July 1st is when Canada achieved Dominion status and is celebrated similar to how the US treats July 4th. Last year we thought it would be fun to enjoy two holidays in a row, so we drove over to Port Dover, which has an old fashioned celebration, complete with soap box derby, boat parade, and the famous Calathumpian parade. We had so much fun we made it a tradition and journeyed over this year as well. Here's some pictures for you to enjoy!
