Canada Day in Martensville!!

This year is Canada’s 156th birthday, and we are excited to celebrate with you!! Check out the 15th annual Canada Day celebrations right here in Martensville!

We are already busy planning a great day!! There will be lots of great FREE activities for all ages. The day kicks off in the afternoon, starting with an Art Show and Community History Showcase closely followed by activities, crafts, games, scavenger hunt and more. To add to this, cupcakes and ice cream are served to the first 100 people. The event will continue into the evening. We will also hope to have guest appearances and entertainment throughout the day.

The feature event of Canada Day in Martensville is the fireworks display and the Cinema Under the Stars – a GIANT 3 storey inflatable movie screen in Martensville. Once again, the Martensville Information and Visitor Centre is working hard to get a brand NEW animated movie, one that is so new that it’s still in theatres and won’t be available on video yet. Pack your vehicle, bug spray, blankets, lawn chairs and join the fun!

Please watch for a more detailed list of events to come.

We are always looking for volunteers to help with planning this event and to help throughout the day. For further information please call the Martensville Information & Visitor Centre at 306-242-0362 or email us at martensvilleinfo@sasktel.net

Canada Day Committee & Event Volunteers

It’s Canada’s 156th Birthday in 2023, and the Canada Day Committee needs your help!!! This fun filled one day event takes a lot of preparation and there are many jobs, big and small, that can only be accomplished with the help of volunteers. We’re looking forward to a great event; the inflatable movie screen is already booked, and we are getting excited to celebrate together!!

Our goal is to celebrate our nation’s birthday right here in our own community. We still need help with planning games and activities, finding grants and sponsorships, gathering prizes, and finding people to help on Canada Day!!

Contact us if you can help! From planning, to volunteering on event day, and everything in between, we are looking for great local people to help. No experience necessary. Please call the Martensville Information & Visitor Centre at 306-242-0362 or email us at martensvilleinfo@sasktel.net
