US city to host annual festival celebrating Canada
Little Canada/Toronto, Aug 3 (IBNS): A small US city, which is situated in the north of Toronto, is set to host an annual festival that will celebrate Canada, media reports said.
Little Canada, a city in Minnesota of the US, will be hosting "Canadian Day" festival this weekend.
Everything in the festival will be Canadian.
The city council chambers display a Canadian flag.
Rick Montour, a city councillor of Little Canada, told CTV News, "I would call it the greatest community festival in the state of Minnesota,” Rick Montour, a city councillor in Little Canada."
"We’re actually very proud of our Canadian heritage and many French-Canadian names still exist in our city," Montour added.
According to the report, each year a group of Canadian bagpipers make a trip to Little Canada for the annual parade.
Montour said: "This weekend, we’ll probably have a group of 40 to 50 residents and folks from Thunder Bay that’ll come down and partake in our festivities."
Montour further said the festival is a scope for the residents to have fun by putting the tension between the two nations in the back seat.
The US and Canada are presently having a strenuous relationship over the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the imposition of taxes on imports by both the nations.
