Pancakes, performances and a parade
June 8, 2023
The grand tent will be coming back to Lynn Valley Park and the parade will hit the streets as Lynn Valley Days return June 23 & 24. With the community stage booked to capacity and volunteers stepping up, the Lynn Valley Lions are excited to be drawing the community together.
Community tradition
The Lynn Valley Lions have been the stewards of Lynn Valley Days for 53 years, said Tania Newman. That is almost half of its 111 years.
Pillars of support
The annual Lynn Valley Days events have been supported for years by a partnership with volunteers from Argyle Secondary. “They are invaluable,” said Newman. “We had such a long break we lost some of the connection with families that came year after year but we are re-engaging. We have parents and students working the cook shack and you would see the same parents behind the grill. It’s a partnership that is invaluable - we need their help and we make a donation that they can decide how to best use.”That most support has typically come from the girls' soccer and the boys' football teams. This year the Lions are also reconnecting with Sutherland Secondary athletics, said Newman.
An ask
The Lions are pleased the parade remains on its traditional route but also recognize this is an inconvenience for some members of the community.
The plan
The gala will kick off Lynn Valley Days on Friday evening with the band Side One.“We had rave reviews about them last year,” said Newman. “There was no question they would be back, they brought the tent down. We are looking at being more strategic this year. We have changed a couple of things with the gala to make it more intimate but it will be a fabulous evening.”The pancake breakfast will begin at 8:15 am followed by the parade scheduled for 9:15 am (road closures beginning at 9 am) and wrapping up late morning giving way to the fair and festival at Lynn Valley Park. “We are so excited about the community stage this year - it is growing with acts, entertainers and groups,” said Newman. “We will have Jordan Back - he is so talented. We plan to get the schedule up on the video boards so people will know when to come for their favourites.” For all the latest info and updates on Lynn Valley Days visit its webpage.Looking for more?
