Thanks to the Optimist for promoting the Canada Day celebration at Kirkland House and for sending a photographer to record this special event.

Thanks to the McKee House Jammers and the United Entertainers for providing the background music and entertainment for the afternoon.

Thanks to the sorority for those wonderful smokies and hot dogs with the barbecued onions -- a great favourite of the crowd! And for donating all proceeds to the Kirkland House Society.

Thanks to the Delta Police Pipe Band, which continues to be a highlight of the afternoon. This year, two of the pipers became dancers!

Thanks to the VIPs -- Mayor Lois Jackson, MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay, MLA Vicki Huntington and Coun. Anne Peterson, who also chairs the heritage advisory commission -- for adding their comments and congratulations.

And most of all, thanks to the many volunteers of the Kirkland House Society who give of their time, talent and energy to continuously and tirelessly make positive changes to this wonderful heritage home.
