~ COVID UPDATE AS OF 23 JUNE - PARTY IS POSTPONED TO 10 JULY 2021 ~
EVENT POSTPONED TO 10 JULY! Summary: it’ll be the same giant party, just on a different date

New covid restrictions were just announced today so postponing is the best plan. All table bookings, street hockey arrangements, etc will be completely honoured on the new date. So much effort has gone into this event by so many people so we’re going to keep it in tact and run it as the giant Canada celebration that it’s meant to be!! The food, drinks,, games, etc will all be there on the 10th. Of course apologies in advance if a few little things need to change but overall we’re all good. And if the 10th isn’t allowed, we’ll move it again… but we’re doing it!

Please help us get the word out so everyone knows. And please mask-up and stay safe so we can put this behind us and get back to more normality. Get tested if asked to do so and please remember that even if you test negative after being at a hot spot, that merely means you likely weren’t contagious prior, it does NOT mean you’re in the clear!!

Sending out lots of love & positive vibes to you all
