ust thought I would upload some of the pics for you fine folkes.
You will notice that the parade is kind of small, it had a much smaller turn out then normal this year, but you will get to see two Canadian military bands that are quite similar to our British counter parts, the first you will see is the "Canadian forces ceremonial band" which is a combination of military bandsmen from the "Canadian Grenadier Guards" and "The Governer Generals Foot Guards" the second pictured band is the "Land Force Atlantic military marching band" wearing the uniform of the Princess Louise Fusiliers, a regiment that has been part of this city "Halifax Nova Scotia" since the days of the British empire.
Sorry about some of the lower quality pics, i have a small memory card, and there were too many people infront of me. I also missed the Navy band and mounties .. .sorry folkes coudlnt get them all :)
