You couldn’t ask for a better Canada Day.

The skies were blue but the temperatures were mild, attracting hundreds to the Rossland Museum and Discovery Centre for their annual Canada Day celebration.

From gold panning to transcendental mediation, historic displays, Canada Cake and fireworks, there was something for everyone at the celebration of the country’s 152nd birthday.

Here are some photos from the event.
