Happy Canada Day week, Greater Victoria.

Canada Day celebrations sweep across the region with parades and fireworks. Seven festivals are happening. Seventeen markets are blooming. A Fernwood resident is launching a moment that connected 130,000 Canadians last year to sing together. You'll discover fresh strawberries and island ice cream under bluegrass and jazz. A guided nature walk explores the secret lives of wolves. Timely, since real ones were spotted near Colwood recently. Caribbean celebration. Folk music. Stories in Sand. Urban art tours. A family picnic at the Gorge.

Fifty-five events. One extraordinary week.

Saturday at 10 a.m.: Canada faces Morocco in the World Cup!
