It`s been a week…
…and we`re still not over Canada Day. ❤️🍁
The music. The packed parks. The waterfront fireworks. The familiar faces and first-time visitors.
Some days are worth reliving, and July 1 was definitely one of them.
Thanks to everyone who celebrated in St. Catharines and helped make our city`s 150th anniversary one for the books. Until next year… we`ll just be over here scrolling through the photos. 📸
