I had the pleasure of attending Coquitlam’s Canada Day celebration at Lafarge Lake Park. It was quite a festival, with many artists and business there showing off what they had to offer. There was a huge food court as well where they had sample size food that you could purchase. It was just the right thing to have s you walked through and tasted various foods from different restaurants.

There were canoe rides for the kids as well as bouncy castles, face painting, free tattoos, plus much, much more for the kids. My daughter was still too young for all of that but it’s nice to look forward to that for the future.

I believe it was the first time for fireworks this year at Lafarge Lake, we had to leave by then anyways as the fireworks did not start until 10:30. My daughter was home and long asleep by then. I did get to see the full show from my upstairs office window though and I must say it was quite an impressive sight!

I am very glad that Coquitlam has stepped up their Canada Day celebration for the citizens and I look forward to taking my family there for years to come!
