UPDATE: July 1, 2023 @ 7:40 PM

Unfortunately, the rain and thunderstorm risk do not appear to be subsiding according to Environment Canada's forecast. 

As a result, we are cancelling the remaining portion of tonight's event EXCEPT FOR FIREWORKS

Fireworks are anticipated to proceed, even in the rain, as scheduled around 11:00 PM. Should we begin to experience wind gust above 45 km/hour, we will have to cancel the fireworks but, at present time, they are proceeding.

UPDATE: July 1, 2023 @ 6:50 PM

We have managed to start and finish our Colour Run but the weather hasn't cooperated much since. The market and stage show continues whenever there is a break in the rain. 

Environment Canada's radar is showing more rain on the way throughout much of the evening.

UPDATE:  July 1, 2023 @ 5:00 PM

Unfortunately strong winds will prevent us from operating bouncy castles. We will continue to monitor the situation and, if the winds ease, we will reevaluate. 

At present time all other events/features are continuing as scheduled. We'll endeavor to provide another update around 5:45 PM.

Environment Canada has lifted its severe Thunderstorm Watch for the region. However, strong winds continue and this may impact the availability of our Bouncy Castles. 

We'll continue to monitor the weather and we'll make a decision closer to 5:00 PM.

UPDATE:  July 1, 2023 @ 2:30 PM

We continue to monitor Environment Canada's Weather Radar and, as of 2:30 PM, it appears we may miss the more severe portion of a storm system out of the west.

Our plan is to forge ahead with the event while continuing to keep our eyes on potential shifts in the weather.
