Canada Day in Arviat

Most of Arviat's ATVs joined the Canada Day parade, led by fire trucks. A great day was had.

Rain doesn’t dampen Canada Day Spirit

The annual Canada Day Parade in Arviat, Nunavut, was a vibrant spectacle once again, uniting the community in celebration! The procession, proudly led by the hamlet’s fire trucks, snaked through town, quickly followed by what seemed like most of the ATVs in Arviat. Despite the unexpected rain showers, spirits remained high, with cheers and laughter echoing through the streets.

It was a truly memorable day that brought everyone together. The enthusiasm of participants and spectators alike shone brightly, proving that a little rain couldn’t dampen the festive mood. A great day was indeed had by all, marking another successful Canada Day celebration in Arviat.
