Important yearly events
Canada Day is the largest community event of the year in Montreal West. Residents organize a parade route that mainly runs down the main street of Westminster and ends at Strathern Park. Floats represented in the parade include organizations and clubs located in town, as well as some created personally by residents. Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is Canadas national holiday. ...
In some years, there have been water fights between sidelined residents and members of the parade (mainly the swimming pool float). Water fights during these years have seen water balloons and super soaker water guns, as well as the odd hose drawn from a house. Organizers have tried to minimize these activities in recent years so as not to detract from the parade itself, with varying success. A water bomb, or water balloon, is a simple small latex rubber balloon filled with tap water. ...
Super-Soaker is a brand of toy water gun that uses pressurized air to allow them to shoot water with greater power, range, and accuracy than conventional squirt guns. ...
Following the parade, residents converge on Strathern Park for a giant picnic/BBQ. Many children's games and activities go on at the park, as well as in the nearby Percival park. The final event of the evening is the fireworks, which take place around 10pm at Hodgson Field.
On St-Jean-Baptiste Day (translated as John the Baptist Day) there is a picnic at Davies Park, which usually includes a group of French singers. Just after dusk, a large bonfire is held in the centre of the park. Fête Nationale parade, MontrealPICTURE IS TOO DISTURBING TO LOOK AT, DO NOT LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OR YOU WILL CATCH THE FRENCH! (lol) The Fête nationale du Québec (Quebec National Holiday) is an official holiday of Quebec, Canada. ...
