Locals line N.B streets for annual parade
More than 100 floats, vehicles and horses made their way through the streets of North Battleford for the annual parade.
The parade on Monday, Aug. 15 was the kickoff for the 129th annual Northwest Territorial Days Exhibition. The 116 entries drove, marched and trotted from the Civic Centre down 101st St. and back on 102nd.
The Western Development Museum had several entries, including vintage cars and a 1928 fire truck. There was also a steam calliope from the museum, a large musical instrument in a carriage consisting of a series of steam whistles like an organ. This calliope is said to be only two of its kind in Canada and of roughly 20 known worldwide.
The Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre float showed kids dressed as health professionals and traditional First Nations dancers.
