Aurorans of all ages flocked to Lambert Willson Park last Tuesday, July 1, to mark Canada Day in style. Capped by a dazzling fireworks display, activities throughout the day included activities designed to give a cross-country tour of Canada right here at home, and tributes to the Beatles, Tom Petty, and Fleetwood Mac.
