Grab your glue guns and confetti, it’s time to build a float.
The folks over at the Heights Merchants Association are looking for more Burnaby organizations and businesses to sign up for the annual Hats Off Day parade taking place on Saturday, June 3.
The parade kicks off Hats Off Day celebrations, and groups that participate have a chance at winning prizes for best creativity, best theme and best engagement.
It’s open to Burnaby non-profits and community groups, Heights-based businesses and schools, and sponsoring companies, according to a press release.
“Ever since we introduced themes for Hats Off Day, there is so much enthusiasm for making our parade feel and look a little bit different each year,” Isabel Kolic, executive director of the Heights Merchants Association, said in the release. “A friendly competition is a great way to spur on people’s creativity. The spectators and community really appreciate the effort put in by participating groups to stand out from the crowd.”
This year’s theme is the Great Canadian Outdoors. Entries should fit within the theme. Groups have until Saturday, April 1 to apply for a spot in the parade.
