The Sheenboro Canada Day festivities got off to an early start with a lumberjack breakfast in the parish hall following the 9 a.m. mass. By the time 11:30 rolled around, the street was lined with cars and dozens of people were milling around the park enjoying the activities.
The evening before, crowds had gathered at Fort William for a fireworks display.
Plenty of sun shelters had been set up to give attendees respite from the sun's rays, but the piping hot fries and barbequed food was still getting dished out at a steady pace.
There were inflatable obstacle courses, a mini-ATV course, live music and a horseshoe tournament outside to keep people occupied, while in the the parish hall, there was a quilt auction and ice cream sandwiches for sale.
