There is no cost for not-for-profit groups to enter a float in the parade, but there is a $50 charge for profit-organizations.

Entry forms can be filled out online through the city’s website.

Following the parade, Canada Day activities will shift over to Muskoseepi Park and will include free public swimming, live entertainment, a beer garden, and activities and games for the kids

The day will wrap up at around 11:30 p.m. with a fireworks display over the reservoir.
