Canada Day
Linda updated us on Canada Day and provided highlights from her report sent to the Board prior to the
meeting. She explained that in order to get a better band there have been some changes this year. Jeff
Young is involved in booking the talent. The headliner cannot be announced until June 11, 2016 because
of a concert that headliner is performing on June 10, 2016. The hope is this will be a Canada Day which
appeals to a wide variety of people but it will certainly please the 19-35 year old crowd.
Darryl Moore spoke of the reason Canada Day in downtown Kitchener is important to all businesses and
to promote the area.
There was discussion of a large sponsor being interested in sponsoring Canada Day in future years.
It was referenced that next year is Canada's 150th and it will be a larger event than normal.

There was discussion about plans to activate businesses throughout the downtown.
