Plans well underway for Wilmot’s 2025 Canada Day celebrations

New venue will enhance parking options and accessibility

The Township of Wilmot, along with members of the Wilmot Canada Day Task Force are excited to unveil plans for the community’s 2025 Canada Day celebrations.

This year’s event will take place on Tuesday, July 1 at a brand-new location – Norm Hill Park. Located at 251 Jacob St. in New Hamburg, the space provides better parking and greater accessibility.

Admission is free to this family-friendly event, which will include an array of activities like an Indigenous Sunrise Ceremony, live music, games, bouncy castles, vendors, food and more. The celebration will close with a dazzling fireworks display at dusk, weather permitting.

While work on the event is well underway, there are still plenty of opportunities to get involved. The Township and Task Force are currently seeking:

• Volunteers to help with face painting, children’s activities, the dunk tank, and more
• Vendors and community groups to promote their products and/or services at the event
• Sponsors to support games, activities or the overall event

Applications for all the above and additional event details are available at www.wilmot.ca/canadaday. Residents can also follow the Township of Facebook and Twitter/X for regular updates about the Canada Day event.

This event is a joint effort between the Township and volunteer members of the Wilmot Canada Day Task Force. Questions about the event can be directed to 519-634-8444, ext. 9235 or manny.okrafka@wilmot.ca.
