Those heading to Mariners Park can also take in the Live Music, Trivia Testing, Contests and Games, Children's Face Painting, a distribution of Tree Seedlings and a glimpse at the past with some old fashioned games for Children to take part in.

While the supplies last the Girl Guides, Brownies and Cubs will be handing Canadian flags and pins to the public.

In addition to the games and events, TELUS will announce the recipients for their community grants for this year.

Music makes up a good portion of the day, with a wide range of local talent on stage on the Cow Bay side of the park.

As in the past, the cultural mosaic that makes up Prince Rupert will be on display along with a number of food booths to offer the tastes from the various communities that make up Prince Rupert.
