Canada Day Beach Blast

  • Lake Minnewasta 100 Colert Rd Morden Canada (map)

Celebrate Canada's 155th birthday and Lake Minnewasta's 80th at the beach on July 1st!

Morden's 2022 #CanadaDayBeachBlast celebrations at Colert Beach are back and include multicultural performers by the Metis group Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers: three siblings from Winnipeg who wowed judges and audiences when they showcased their speedy footwork on Canadaโ€™s Got Talent.

We are excited to welcome Joe Lanceley, better known as Tipi Joe, the owner of Tipi Joe Creations and the director of the non-profit group Red Willow Tipi. He works with schools, organizations, and individuals to provide a high-quality learning experience that incorporates Indigenous culture and teachings through the arts.

You will find family-focused activities during the day and evening, including games, contests, fire dancing, our magnificent fireworks show and music by The Mood.
