Why?
I don't actually know! It's just a cool holiday. It's generally a middle of the week day off. Which is kinda weird. Usually statutory holidays fall on a Monday or Friday. Having your week disrupted is pretty cool.
There's also the celebration. People are everywhere in town! There's lots of red
and white on the streets, kids with painted faces running around with flags. Patios throw their doors wide open to let the smell of fries drift across the festivities.
That's not even talking about the fireworks display! In Barrie, they send a barge out into the middle of the bay and launch them off. Because Barrie has a massive waterfront, this makes for a pretty spectacular view! I was blown away by it last year, here's hoping for a repeat performance!
What do you have planned for the 1st?
