This year, as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the formation of Canada, Qualicum Beach amps up with a number of very special activities honouring this milestone.

The Royal Canadian Legion #76, working with a committee of volunteers and the Town of Qualicum Beach, are organizing a fun filled day of celebration on Canada Day this year.

July 1st Celebrations begins with a Grand Parade at 11:00 AM and the unveiling of the Echo Theatre Mural, continuing down to the opening ceremonies at the RCL #76 on Veteran's Way at noon. Family oriented activities and musical entertainment will be active on Veterans Way all afternoon. Included is a Historical Walk Through Time in Qualicum Beach celebrating "Community Working Together" in the old Community Hall.

A street dance, on Veteran's Way sponsored by the Town of Qualicum Beach and Quality Foods highlighting Zachary Stephenson of Buddy Holly fame, will begin at 6:30pm.

This event and others throughout the year, demonstrate one of our greatest strengths: Community Working Together. Activities are being funded by generous community sponsors and the Town of Qualicum Beach.
