Canada Day 2016 – Our country’s athletes are leaving for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and the public was invited to give them a proper send off on July 1 at Woodbine Beach. This much-anticipated event featured performances from Canadian musicians Scott Helman and Sloan, and the summer sounds of DJ Floh Back. The party wrapped up with the national-renowned fireworks at Ashbridges Bay. For more on this event visit http://olympic.ca/beachparty/
