For a second straight year, the Sarnia Canada Day Committee is collaborating with local talk show host David Burrows to provide a virtual show on July 1.

It will begin at 11 a.m. with the singing of the National Anthem followed by performances from local musicians and members of the Multicultural Council of Sarnia-Lambton.

An acknowledgement of the recent tragedies surrounding residential schools will also be featured as part of the virtual show, which can bee seen on the City of Sarnia’s Facebook page, and on The Show with David Burrow’s on Facebook or YouTube.

On Thursday, June 24, free Canada Day kits and giveaways will be offered from the Tourism Sarnia-Lambton parking lot, at 1455 Venetian Boulevard, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The kits include Canadian flags, a deck of cards, a bandana, a Pick Up Sticks game, a sucre à la crème recipe, Canada-themed tattoos, a kite-making kit, and a pinwheel kit.

This is a drive-through and pick-up only event for residents, and the kits will be available while supplies last.
