• Fireworks will not be a part of this year’s Canada Day events in Golden. This decision was made proactively based on the annual risks of wildfire (we typically book fireworks and a technician many months in advance), as well as feedback received from the community about the impact of fireworks on pets and wildlife.⁣⁣⁣Canada Day is also a day for us to reflect on what it means to be Canadian. This includes educating ourselves and reflecting on the story of Canada and what that means for Indigenous peoples.⁣⁣⁣Here are some resources to learn more about Canada’s history:⁣⁣History of Canada: http://www.canada.ca/.../can.../services/history-canada.htmlIndigenous History: http://www.canada.ca/.../history.../indigenous-history.htmLearn about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action: https://bit.ly/3wKDOhJNational Centre for Truth and Reconciliation: https://nctr.ca
