A giant flag of Canada was created for the parade.

Accustomed to celebrating Canada Day in style, Bury answered the call once again this year. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people from all over the Haut-Saint-François gathered during the weekend of festivities organized by the Bury Athletic Association.
The Friday evening musical show by Sydney Aulis was preceded by a talent competition that began around 6 p.m. Early on Saturday morning, visitors could participate in a small fishing tournament at the pond near Pope Memorial Elementary School and, throughout the day, enjoy strawberry shortcake offered by The Bury Historical and Heritage Society. Main Street was teeming with activities and citizens who came to celebrate this national holiday. The parade amazed many as it proceeded up Main Street. Riders and their mounts led the march wearing the flags of Canada and Quebec. Floats followed, old period tractors, old cars, and a delegation of veterans who marched to the music of bagpipes and percussion played by a band, adding a festive atmosphere to the parade.
The crowd then moved to the Memorial Park grounds. Inflatable games, mascots and make-up artists allowed many young and not-so-young visitors to have fun while their parents watched the prowess of the riders engaged in the gymkhana events. The day’s events took place in a festive spirit, and the good weather ensured that the festival brought together an impressive number of people who came to celebrate all day long.
In the evening, musical performances were on the schedule until the magnificent fireworks which lit up the entire sky of Bury and the surrounding area.
The organizers of the event were delighted with this great post-pandemic participation. They wanted to sincerely thank all the volunteers who got involved and all the sponsors who contributed to the success of the activity.
