The Oakville Beaver photographers will be covering the various Canada Day celebrations in town, but we can’t be everywhere. So, here’s where you can help. Send us your favourite Canada Day picture, whether it be from a commu- nity celebration, backyard party or family get together. There’s just one condition — your pictures must have a Canada Day theme. We want pictures of people dressed in their best Canada Day outfits and hats, waving flags, posters, banners, children (or adults) with their faces painted with Canada Day messages, birthday cakes or raising a toast to this special holiday. We want your best Canada Day picture Man dies in boating mishap ■ See Share page 5 Kevin Stoute at the Bronte Canada Day festivities last year. ■ By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF They said he’d never read or write.
