Celebrate Canada Day with us from the comfort of home for our "Canada Day 2020 - Communities Connected!" online event!
To show solidarity and support, the communities of Stone Mills, Deseronto, Tyendinaga and Greater Napanee have teamed up to create an online platform to celebrate Canada Day in our area. Building the #StrongerTogether theme, we encourage residents from one community to the next to celebrate as a group from the comfort and safety of their own home.
We’ve created a line-up of fun, safe activities that we encourage everyone to do safely from home. Although participants will be apart, we ask that you share stories, pictures and encouragement online; showcasing our true Canadian spirit when it is needed the most.
