_ This year’s parade
a Canada 125 event

TERRACE — The Legion’s
Riverboat Days parade this
year is a Canada 125 project.
Joan Davis-McKenzie, pa-
rade. marshal, has been in-

volved with the parade, but |

this is only her second year in
' charge. ays

“Canada 125 is coming: up.

from Prince George with a 23
foot tall-inflatable Canada 125
logo,’’ she says.

The inflatable won't clear
the power lines on main street
so. at each crossing the logo
will be slightly deflated and
re-inflated after it clears the
lines. The logo can be re-

inflated in a matter of seconds. —

‘Last year’s parade was ex-
cellent,’ *' said*  Davis-
McKenzie. ‘‘We’ll have a

hard time surpassing it, but it’s
not impossible. ‘The more you
learn, the more you pick up for
upcoming years.”’
‘Candy-throwing - will, not be

*“We’d have more cut-of-
town floats if we paid ex-
penses, or even gas, but we’re
non-profit and all the money
brought in goes back to
ptizes,”’ she said. ‘Maybe we
could get a budget [from the
Riverboat. Days . Society,
they’ve got a budget now, too.
If we could have $500 or
something we‘could get a few

more non-local floats. Or if a

local Hotel was willing ta put
up the out-of-towners,”’ she
added.

No vehicles except those in
the parade are allowed in the
marshalling area.

‘Any kids who would like
to be in the parade this year
can join in the Canada 125
procession. : All they have to

_ do is show up at the Almarlin

building at 10:30 a.m. on Sat-

-urday,. preferrably dressed in

red and white,’  Davis-
