Canada Day 2020

The Municipality of West Elgin takes the health of residents and visitors seriously during the COVID-19 Virus Pandemic.  As such at this time we feel it is in the best interest of public health to cancel the 2020 Canada Celebration that is traditionally held in Miller Park.  We look forward to hosting a wonderful Celebration of Canada’s Birthday in 2021!
