For July 1^st, the Town of Devon issues this statement:

Coming up to 154 years, Canada has celebrated July 1^st as a National holiday, the creation of the Dominion of Canada known as Canada Day.  We acknowledge that the celebration of the dominion as a Crown-entity is also a celebration rooted in colonialism.  We acknowledge the First Peoples who come from the land that we currently call Canada, and we acknowledge the atrocities that have been caused as a direct result of colonial policy, and church and state institutions.

Important Notices:

• Clear your cars off the parade route as much as possible. This will help you get the best view of the parade!
• Stay 6 feet away from the roadway and sidewalks to give the parade extra room.
• If we're coming to your street, please view us from your yard (stay off of sidewalks to avoid crowding).
• If we're not coming to your street, find a recommended viewing spot on the map.
• Follow all notices regarding physical distancing as indicated by the Government of Alberta.

In respect for the hundreds of children and families who have been impacted by the Indian Residential School System and the increasing number of children being recovered on residential school sites across Canada, we have postponed our fireworks display originally planned for Canada Day to a future date that will be determined later this year.
