Seventh Annual Canada Day Drive-by Parade
About this Event
Join MPP Effie Triantafilopoulos for the Seventh Annual Canada Day Drive-by Parade on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, as we celebrate Canada Day and showcase community spirit across Oakville North–Burlington.
First launched in 2020 as a safe way to celebrate Canada Day during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Drive-by Parade has become a meaningful annual tradition. Each year, our convoy visits long-term care and retirement homes in the community to greet seniors, thank frontline healthcare heroes, and share Canadian pride.
This year, there will be two separate parades: one in Oakville and one in Burlington. Participants are welcome to join either parade or both.
