2026 Pemberton Heights Canada Day Celebration Returns July 1!

The Pemberton Heights Canada Day Celebration is back and we can’t wait to celebrate with our community on Wednesday, July 1st at Sowden Park!

Join your neighbours, friends, and family for one of Pemberton Heights’ favourite traditions! This year’s celebration includes a community parade, hot dog station, bouncy castle, live music from the JP Pipers, fun races and activities, and a brand-new Kids Market featuring young local entrepreneurs

The festivities begin with our annual parade. Participants should gather in front of the Pemberton Heights Hall, with the parade departing at 10:45 AM and making its way down West 23rd Street to Sowden Park.

Volunteers Needed
Our Canada Day celebration is entirely volunteer-run, and we are always looking for helping hands. Whether you can assist with setup, serving food, traffic control, activities, or cleanup, we’d love to have you join the team. More details >
