WINDSOR, ONT. -- “What does Canada Day mean to you?”
Windsor West MP Brian Masse and MPP Lisa Gretzky want to know.
The provincial and federal representatives have launched a contest in celebration of the holiday as restrictions surrounding COVID-19 have impacted the usual activities.
“Many of us enjoy the annual parade and getting together with family and friends to celebrate our great nation,” Masse stated in a news release.” The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many of the usual festivities and events to be cancelled. So, Lisa Gretzky and I have created a fun Canada Day contest.”
