The Campbell River Canada Day Committee has launched a new website to support this year’s virtual celebration.
And prior to the big day, the committee is asking everyone to decorate their homes, their cars, their businesses – even themselves — in Canada Day colours and take photos and/or videos of everything or everyone that has been decorated and upload them to www.campbellrivercanadaday.com. These will all be compiled into a virtual video celebration parade to be broadcast July 1 on Shaw Spotlight, Facebook, YouTube as well as the Campbell River Canada Day website.
The deadline for submissions is June 14.

So have fun. The Canada Day Committee is waiting for your submissions.
Be aware, though, there will be NO public gathering on July 1 due to public health orders currently in place due to COVID-19.
That’s why they are collecting everyone’s videos and photos between now and June 14. They will be compiled into a VIRTUAL Campbell River Canada Day celebration that will air on Shaw Spotlight, Youtube, Facebook and the Canada Day website: https://campbellrivercanadaday.com/ on July 1st.
