Canada Day celebrations

Huntsville’s Community Celebration at Muskoka Heritage Place

To celebrate Canada Day, Muskoka Heritage Place (88 Brunel Rd) will open its doors at 9 am, kicking off festivities with a performance by Muskoka Concert Band, speeches from dignitaries, and special guests Town Crier Bruce Kruger and Captain Hunt.

Muskoka Heritage Place admission is free to the museum and pioneer village with the donation of a nonperishable food item to The Salvation Army Food Bank of Huntsville.

The Rotary Club of Huntsville will be serving peameal bacon on a bun starting at 9:30 am while supplies last, so be sure to bring your cash to support them. There will also be free cupcakes and strawberry scones provided by Mayor Nancy Alcock and members of Council, while supplies last.

There will be activities for the whole family at Muskoka Heritage Place, including a scavenger hunt, cattail dolls, and a StoryWalk® of The Gruffalo provided by the Huntsville Public Library, alongside all the pioneer activities Muskoka Heritage Place has to offer. July 1 also marks Steam Up Day – the launch of the steam train at Muskoka Heritage Place for the season. The train will run every hour on the hour from 12 noon to 3 pm. Regular admission for the train applies.
