This includes reflecting on our nation's history and recognizing the Treaty territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Indigenous Peoples who have been connected to these lands for generations. You can join the celebration by watching live shows on the Government of Canada's website, exploring local parks or attending local events. On behalf of Regional Council, I wish everyone happy Canada Day!

Ready to get out and enjoy the day? Here are some great ways for families to make the most of our country's 155th birthday. Birthday breakfast: Kick off the day with yummy pancakes and Canada's golden treasure, maple syrup! Top your flapjacks with whipped cream and sliced strawberries (and maybe add a side of Canadian bacon). Take a day trip: Pack up the fam- ily and visit some nearby places you haven't seen before or in a while. From Niagara Falls to Wasaga Beach to the Sandbanks, create a road map to travel some of the local sites that make our country great. And be sure to capture it all in pictures and videos! Handprint flag: Start with a piece of white fingerpaint paper. Add red fingerpaint to the sides and a red fin- gerprint handprint for the maple leaf. Presto! In just a few minutes, you have a cool and creative DIY Canadian flag! Chalk it up! Say Happy Canada Day by covering your sidewalk in chalk Canadian symbols -- everything from loonies to lacrosse sticks and maple leaves to Mounties. Canada's game: Get all the kids on the block together for an old-fashioned game of street hockey. (Don't forget to start the game with a rousing rendition of "O Canada"!) Rock painters: Go on a rock hunt, then get some red and white paint and some small paint brushes, and paint the rocks to commemorate Canada Day 2022. They'll be keepers! Puzzling time: There are many jigsaw puzzles out there that feature Canadiana (a map of our great country is also an excellent learning tool) and puzzling is a perfect way to relax and unwind. Cupcakes please! Make a batch of red velvet cupcakes and ice them in white and red. A great dessert for lunch or dinner. Beaver craft: Wrap a toilet paper roll in brown paper; glue a circle of the paper to one end for the face and another to the end for the tail. Add a couple of black craft pompoms for ears, two googly eyes and two white teeth.
