Canada Day 2025
*UPDATE (June 30, 3:30 PM)*:
Due to fire risk, the Canada Day fireworks in Grand Falls-Windsor have been canceled for July 1 and will be rescheduled for a later date.
The Town’s fireworks permit states that displays cannot proceed if the provincial forest fire index is High, Very High, or Extreme. Today, our area is rated High, and with high temperatures and little chance of rain tomorrow, the index is not expected to improve in time.
We know the fireworks are a highlight for many, and we’re working on a new date to safely celebrate together.
All other Canada Day activities at Shawnawdithit Centennial Park will continue as planned – see you there!
Join us at Shanawdithit Centennial Park for an afternoon of family fun, music, and celebration in Grand Falls-Windsor!
