According to legend, the original plan was to see the city incorporated on March 17, 1897, but it was recommended that city officials avoid having it on St. Patrick’s Day, so incorporation took place on March 18 that year.
This is just the beginning of the celebrations. The City plan to collaborate with other major events during the year such as Canada Day, Golden City Days and Rekindle.
