2010 Canada Day Parade

I finally got a card reader so posting can continue.  I will start off with the Canada Parade in Cape Dorset.  It was the first one I was actually in the parade.  Photos below.

Getting ready to start.  Most of us with ATV's and motorcycles were at the back.  Guess we are kind of like the horses in a parade south.

This is what I saw through most of the parade.

A shot over my shoulder.

A better view of the vehicles ahead with the newly renovated high school on the left.

Mr Canada himself waiting to jump into the parade.

Some excited onlookers.

More parade watchers.

Everyone gathering at the end.

Canada Day

Happy Canada Day!!

The parade was energetic as usual with an eclectic mix of hamlet vehicles and quads.

The first vehicle in every parade is always the fire truck with siren blaring. Our mayor Fred is on top in the ball cap.

The second vehicle is always one of the police vehicles with lights flashing. How does Jen of Nunavut always get in these photos. Got you first. :o)

Representing social services my wife Michele. She's driving and i think that is Eve waving out the passenger side window.

Every 1/2 ton is always full of kids. They almost make more noise than the fire truck siren.
I got them coming .......
..... and going.
Happy Birthday Canada!!
