Kick Off Canada Day with Pancakes at Big Bay

What better way to kickstart your Canada Day festivities than with a delicious pancake breakfast at one of the most scenic spots around? You are invited to join the Township of Georgian Bluffs at the Big Bay dock on the morning of July 1^st for a pancake breakfast and flag raising to start your Canada Day off right!

This year, the day begins at 8:00 a.m. with Yoga on the Pier led by Julie Bradley-Low, CYT from Stonegrove Wellness Studio near Wiarton. At 9:00 a.m., enjoy a rousing rendition of O Canada as the Canadian Flag goes up over the pier, followed by a stack of fluffy pancakes made by Heat n’ Eat while taking in the breathtaking views of the bay. There will also be a balloon artist onsite, bringing creativity to the morning festivities.

As you plan the rest of your Canada Day, why not discover the wonders of your own backyard of parks, trails, and lookouts, all just waiting to be explored? Spend the day enjoying the awe-inspiring beauty of the Georgian Bluffs landscape, and visiting favourite local stops like the Big Bay General Store for ice cream, Keppel Croft Gardens for a tour, Ajijaak Indigenous Art Project for a moment of reflection, or the Kemble Women’s Institute Lookout for one of the best views in the region. From hiking, to kayaking, to a picnic on the shore, there are so many ways to enjoy all Georgian Bluffs has to offer.

Later in the day, stop by Cobble Beach to celebrate with live music, delicious food, and fireworks. Starting at 4:00 p.m., enjoy live music on the patio and wedding green, and delight in a special Canadian-themed menu at the Sweetwater Restaurant, featuring wood-fired pizzas and specialty cocktails. The evening will wrap up with a bagpiper’s performance of O Canada at 9:00 p.m., leading into a spectacular fireworks display over Georgian Bay.

Bring your friends, family, and neighbors for a day filled with fun and community spirit! Let's come together and celebrate what makes our home such a great place to live.
