Let’s head back to the summer of 1974 to check out some of the fun at North Delta Family Day.
Pictured is magician Rudy Hayden showing some of his talents during the event, which took place July 1 at Annieville Park.
He was one of many entertainers who took part in the North Delta Family Day celebrations.
It was reported at the time that hundreds attended the event which proved highly successful.
In 2022, the event, which had been put on hold for a couple of years due to the pandemic, returned to North Delta Community Park, hosted by the North Delta Lions Club on June 19.
During a Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee meeting that year, it was noted that the service club did not have sufficient volunteers to plan and execute a parade, so it was agreed the city would assist the club with organizing one. Council had already directed the city to help the club with the event.
The commission also discussed the lack of volunteers community service clubs were experiencing.
In May 2024, the city announced a major change when it comes to Family Day and its partnership with North Delta Lions Club.
Canada Day celebrations will be expanded on Monday, July 1.
The Lions Club has been hosting the North Delta Family Day community event usually in June, but this year the event will be amalgamated with the city’s Canada Day festivities "to deliver enhanced programming to the community, including a parade on a new route."
