(Although I'm not sure it was called "Canada Day" back then.) Maybe "Dominion Day," or is that another time?

The International Freedom Festival still exists at Hart Plaza. It wasn't every weekend though. Th IFF is for about a week, around Canada Day and the 4th. The joint fireworks show is more amazing every year. The other festivals occurred each week.. there would be an Italian festival, a HoeDown (country music), a Jazz fesitval, a Polish festival, etc. Although I know the IFF still happens, you don't hear much about the others, except the Jazz festival. We used to go to all of them when I was a kid. Now I need to research if these others still happen!
