Our National Holiday to celebrate our country’s inception in 1867 is July 1. It just happens to be that day today.
UPDATE:
It turns out that the fireworks were quite good this year. Fredericton usually goes a bit cheap on the fireworks, but it seems that this year there were a few pennies left for them this year. They were fired off from Carleton park this year, and the view was nice. There was a reasonable variety and a few new ones that I’ve never seen before (one that looked like a gyroscope, for example). After a nice show, the “signal went out” and a blitz of different forms of fireworks were shot off from in front of the lighthouse on the south side of the river. Nice finale.
Sorry - no pictures. Perhaps Fredericton Cabbie might have a few…
