All Day Fun…For Everyone!
Our missions is to provide a fun-filled family day celebrating Canadian heritage through entertainment, arts, culture and information on July 1st in Orillia.
In 2003, Orillia Canada Day Inc. became a registered not-for-profit corporation and a registered charitable organization. Presently, our structure has a core committee comprised of a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson/Treasurer & 2nd Vice Chairperson along with coordinators of various aspects of Canada Day – Children’s Village, Entertainment, Fundraising/Sponsorships, Scheduling and Technical, Fireworks, Media/Marketing, Membership, Operations, Parade, Security, Vendors, Volunteers, Waste Diversion and Website.
These volunteers spend tireless hours preparing for the Celebration, and they are joined with up to 200 more volunteers on July 1st to make Orillia’s Canada day celebration a success.
