As we look back on another successful Canada Day celebration in Streetsville, we wanted to extend our gratitude to our incredible fireworks sponsors. This year’s festivities would not be possible without the generous support of our Streetsville service clubs. Their commitment and dedication to our community is inspirational and was integral in making this event truly thrive.
Our beautiful fireworks were presented by the Streetsville Lions Club, The Legion Branch 139, and The Rotary Club of Streetsville in partnership with Rama Gaming House.
