Halifax Regional Municipality Celebrates Canada's 153rd Birthday!
From hrmcanadaday.ca/events
Join the staff of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and the people of Halifax for our yearly July 1st celebrations. HMCS Bluenose has just completed her yearly repairs in time for this momentous occasion. Wayne Walters, grandson of Bluenose's famous Captain Angus Walters will be present as Bluenose will be docked in the Halifax waterfront open for tours through the duration of the afternoon. Don't miss a chance to walk aboard Canada's international goodwill ambassador and see the 'the Queen of the North Atlantic' from stem to stern! You've seen her on the dime but there is nothing like the real thing! Bluenose is one of the most well known and admired ships ever to be built on Canadian shores, her sterling service through her years as both a racing vessel, a hardworking fishing schooner and naval ship is fun for all ages. Admission to Bluenose and the nearby CSS Acadia is free for the day, make sure to stay for the evening to watch the fully rigged schooner strut her stuff with a ceremonial sail leading elements of the Royal Canadian Navy out to sea, following by fireworks later into the evening.

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians and anybody else celebrating this holiday!
