Canada Day in Bienfait promises another jam-packed day of fun, food, music, and family-friendly activities — with a few exciting additions for 2024. Recreation Director Sarah Yoner joined SUN 102 to walk through the full lineup, from pancake breakfast to fireworks, and shared what makes this year extra special.
“We want anybody and everybody — from a 90-year-old fiddle player to a 12-year-old comedian — to get up on stage and share their talent.” — Sarah Yoner
