                    Comment on the above activities


                    Would you still attend the event if rides and inflatables were removed and replaced with activities (like the fish pond) and displays or exhibits?


                    If the BBQ was changed from a lunch to a dinner would you take part in the dinner menu?


                    Would you support a scaled back event?



                    Canada Day requires a huge amount of volunteer assistance to happen.  A lack of volunteers may cause reductions in activities.

                    Would you be willing to volunteer to help Canada Day remain as is or be improved/expanded?
