MONDAY JULY 1, 2024
The Town Hall sponsored the very first “Canada Day in the Glen” parade and picnic way back in 1976 as a way to thank residents of the Glen for their support in renovating and re-opening the building as a Town Hall. Every street was encouraged to enter their own float – a tradition that continues to this day!
The celebration has gone from strength to strength ever since, attracting not only residents of the Glen but also their extended families, friends, friends-of-friends, and thousands more who make the trip to Glen Williams an annual tradition.
It’s a huge undertaking for a village Town Hall, and it can only be achieved thanks to the help of nearly 100 local volunteers every year.
