Timmins’ first-ever drone show is going to light up the sky over Gillies Lake this Canada Day! The City of Timmins has partnered with The Bucket Shop Inc. and Northern College to swap the traditional fireworks display with something new for Northern Ontario!
“The City is working with Northstar Drone Shows to create a custom Canada Day show,” says Lynne Grenon, Manager of Facilities and Recreation. “Drone shows are dog-friendly, better for the environment, and it’s something different for Timmins. This is Timmins’ first drone show, and it wouldn’t be possible without The Bucket Shop Inc. and Northern College.”
The celebration will be a family-friendly evening event this year, held from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Gillies Lake. Residents can bring a blanket or chairs, find a place on the grass, and listen to the DJ. McIntyre Coffee Shop’s food truck or Bubbles Fries are also great options if revelers want to grab a late dinner or snack. The City is serving up dessert with free Canada Day cake and cupcakes.
