Canada Day in Kelowna has ended for another year and, as always, has produced manysa国际传媒檃 good time, manysa国际传媒檃 spent $20s and muchsa国际传媒檃 time for reflection on the good and bad aspects of Canada. Heresa国际传媒檚 a recap:
1. Andrew Scheer strolls through town (8:00 p.m.)
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer along with local MP candidate Tracy Gray took a hike through town with a flurry of supporters during a concert right before the annual fireworks.

2. Fireworks! (10:30 p.m. at Tugboat Bay)
Fireworks. Pew! Pew!
Hundreds gathered at the waterfront to take in the spectacle that lasted nearly a half hour.
3. This guy dancing (who knows, on a boat)
This guy was fired up on Canada Day, sporting the ultimate boat-bro outfit, jubilating and performing what the chimichanga would look like if it was a dance move and not a Mexican dish.
4. Incredible rendition of Osa国际传媒機anada to officially kickoff Canada Day (12:30 p.m. at Prospera Place)
Two musicians stood before the crowd at Prospera Place and performed a bi-lingual rendition of Osa国际传媒機anada with an acoustic guitar. One singer sung in French, the other English and the two would switch between the languages with ease.
Official Canada Day ceremonies began with a bilingual rendition of O'Canada!

5. Kelownasa国际传媒檚 cake cutting (1 p.m. at Prospera Place)
Kelownasa国际传媒檚 celebratory cake-cutting ceremony took place just after words from local politicians, including Mayor Colin Basran and MP Stephen Fuhr. However, there may have been a larger crowd waiting for the cake than listening to the remarks. Lucky for this lady, she got there before everyone else did.
6. This baby was too cute (Waterfront Park)
Baby fever was alive and well on this sunny Canada Day day at Waterfront Park.
7. Okanagan Dog Agility Club demos (Various times throughout the day at the west end of Pioneer Gardens)
These pups put on an amazing performance for hundreds of adoring people throughout the day. A big shoutout to all the trainers who spent their day showing us their talents.
Look at these pups go!

8. Kid-nastics (11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Waterfront Park)
The day events at Waterfront Park featured tons of dancing, laughing and smiling children. Watch these two rip up the mat.

9. Indigenous mural released (all day at Highway 3 and Cawston Avenue)
The University of British Columbia Okanagan and partners painted a mural last year and raised it on July 1. It is meant to remind Canadians that the countrysa国际传媒檚 birthday does not mean the same thing to everyone.

10. Dog brushes its teethsa国际传媒� with some help
Every dog needs clean teeth on Canada Day. They are destined to go for a walk and visit other dogs and they certainly cansa国际传媒檛 have bad breath. This owner understands a dogsa国际传媒檚 needs better than most.
