On July 1 in Canada, you can do all this and more as we celebrate our 115th birthday. Canadians from one end of the country to the other are participating in a giant birthday party with picnics and parades, festivals and fireworks. Community groups across the country have been working for months to stage a wide variety of feslivities. There are events for the young and old, events which reflect our multicultural heritage and those that focus on our pioneer past. In every event, there is the occasion for Canadians to join iheir friends and neighbours in affirming their sense of community and their commitment to Canada. In every province and territory there are ac- tivities too numerous to mention and only a few are listed here. * The party begins in St. John's Newfoundland as the day is ushered in with a sunrise ceremoney on Signal Hill. The day continues with concerts of traditional music, sports events and multicultural festivals in various towns and outports. , In Prince Edward Island, there will be clam- bakes, bonfires and barbecues.

The parly in Punkydoodle's Corner, Ontario, is, believe it or not, typical of the many activities being organized by community groups in that province. Three counties of Ontario meet at Punkydoodle's Corner and a huge family picnic is planned. The highlight ofthe day's events is the encasing in cement of the often-stolen signpost. Celebrations are taking place all over Manitoba. In Winnipeg, a feature of the official ceremonies is the presentation of research done by high school students about Manitoba pioneers.
