Looking through a travel brochure while in Whitehorse, we came across a picture of the Mounties marching in the Canada Day parade. Being an old fan of Sergeant Preston and King, I had to stay and watch the festivities. The Mounties didn't disappoint and looked sharp in their dress uniforms.
We started the morning off by going to a pancake breakfast which was put on by the Lions Club. Note that this is a popular event as can be witnessed by the people standing in line.
Dornier 228 flown by Nomad Air flew around the downtown area of Whitehorse.
What's a parade without the local dignitaries?
A patriotic display must have veterans.
and cute little girls
Of course a country like Canada with it's proud Scotts must have a bagpipe unit.
The Mounties didn't disappoint with their sharp appearance and familiar dress uniforms.
Don't know what these two represented, but do remember it gets cold in Canada in the winter.
Man's best friend got into the act and was a popular addition .
This guy was just a spectator and obviously loved his little pug puppy.
We'll end with the trolley that travels on the edge of the downtown area.
