There was a huge turnout for the Canada Day celebrations in Strathmore.
There were a few new attractions this year, including several markets and a roller rink at the Strathmore Municipal Library.
"It's always great to see our residents, businesses, and community groups come together to celebrate this great country," said Johnathan Strathdee, communications manager with the Town of Strathmore.
With the last few years bringing rain on Canada Day, this year instead saw hot temperatures reaching around 34C. However, the town had a plan to cool residents off.
"Every year, we set up a water truck in front of the stage to allow people to fill up their water bottles. It was a very hot day," added Strathdee. "The weather is always a challenge for our events."
Although a specific turnout number was not given, Strathdee said that local vendors have told him that it was busier than the previous year.
Other attractions included live music, a pancake breakfast, and a ton of family-friendly activities around Kinsmen Park.
