Across town, over a thousand Lethbridge residents were celebrating Canada Day at Henderson Lake. Families gathered in picnic areas and around the stage to listen to live music and watch other performances.

You didn’t need to pack a picnic, as there were many different food trucks on site to satisfy any craving one might have. To entertain the kids, there were mascots available to take photos with, the city set up a variety of inflatable obstacle courses and bouncey castles for kids to run through and enjoy.

The Canadian Armed Forces were on site, with a troop transport vehicle to climb into and see as well as showing people some of the various equipment they use, like radar, and missile launchers.
