With celebrations all weekend long, we hope you and your families have a sunny and bright Canada Day! Here in Edmonton, we have so many great festivals and events to attend and parades to watch!

There is not better excuse than to make crafts with your kids than on our nations birthday! Check out this fun craft- Maple Leaf Magnets from Our Big Earth:

Get playful with food- who wouldn’t want to gobble up these adorable beaver cupcakes? You can find the full recipe here.

Add a bit of every day national pride with these accessories:

A contrasting teal and bright cream are a fun way to add a bit of Canadian flair without screaming red and white!

A typographic art piece would be perfect in a back entry, with an antique storage piece for mitts and gloves!

Happy Canada Day! Let’s just hope the weather permits fireworks…
