Update on Canada Day Float

Hello Neighbours on Anarchist Mountain

The community is proceeding with developing a float for Osoyoos’ Canada Day parade.  Thank you to those who came out to the meeting on May 15th and for the other ideas shared by residents who were unavailable that evening.

There are still opportunities for everyone to be involved and we encourage your participation, both before and on July 1st.  Bring your enthusiasm and share ideas.

Banners are being ordered and the fire department is providing a vehicle.  The theme will be built around Life on the Mountain.  Dress up with the gear/equipment of your favourite activity (bird watching, astronomy, hiking, cycling, snowshoeing etc).  Or wildlife.  Decorate your bicycle or ATV (licensed and insured) and ride along.  Come ride the float or walk alongside dressed in your costume or decked out in Canada Day colours.

If you have any props that you would consider lending for the float, be it a statue, large stuffed animal/bird representative of our area, mascot, signs, gear, flags etc., please let us know ASAP.

We also require volunteers to come into town the morning of the parade and help with the final decorating of the float (to not risk the decor falling off when the vehicle is driven down the hill).

Come show your community spirit and join in on the fun.

Please contact one of the following and let us know where you’re interested in participating.
