The 2011 Regina Canada Day Celebration
Canada's very own Chiliwack will be the headliner on this July 1st celebration. For the first time ever, at 2:00 in front of the Ledge we will host the "Great Co-operators skip off". In Wascana park the first 500 kids will get a skipping rope and the chance to participate in the Great Skip Off at 2:00 for prizes, better come early. The rope is yours to take home, just thank Co-operators. Here's what the park looked like last year: Canada Day 2011 - Regina - Promotional Video from Riley Moynes - Living Sky Media on Vimeo. Missed the fireworks last year? Watch here: Rising out of the ashes of psychedelia in 1969 Canada’s legendary Chilliwack released 12 albums over a 15 year period producing numerous Canadian and international hits including “Lonesome Mary” in 1970; “Fly At Night”, “Arms Of Mary”, and “California Girl” in the mid 70’s; “Communication Breakdown” in 1979; and “My Girl (gone gone gone)”, “I Believe”, “Whatcha Gonna Do” and “Don’t Stop” between ‘81 and ’84. All this work led to fifteen gold and platinum certifications, a host of awards, high profile television appearances and coliseum concert tours. Chilliwack’s reputation for consistently powerful shows led one journalist to propose an insurance policy covering career damage to major international artists who had to appear on the same stage. Now in their 39th year, and with the live CD THERE AND BACK still winning over young classic rockers and delighting long time fans, Bill Henderson and the band are rocking like never before. Hearing the revitalized Chilliwack of 2010 is hearing those songs for the first time… all over again.  |
