The cool and wet weather didn\u2019t stop folks from marching in a parade, competing in a soapbox derby or taking in the Canada Day festivities at a new location this year.<\/p>\n
People gathered throughout Chilliwack and the surrounding area on Wednesday, July 1 to celebrate the nation\u2019s 159th birthday.<\/p>\n
Pancake breakfasts, fundraiser barbecues, a parade in the Columbia Valley, free ice skating, a museum open house and more filled the day.<\/p>\n
