I received the notice below directly from Lisa Miller. I hope anyone within a short drive of Petawawa will be in attendance. After filming the original Red Friday Rally (see links on this page) and after catching Lisa and Karen drop the puck (by fluke) while I was at a Sens hockey game this year, I sometimes feel that I am destined to promote Red Fridays!!
I am not sure if I will be able to make it, but I think that it would be great to attend the event in the town where it all started. I am sure it will be a grand Parade of red.
Lisa Miller and Karen Boire are pleased to announce:
Petawawa will be holding a Red Friday Rally and March of Military Appreciation on May 11th, 2007.
Time: 9:30am
Location: Petawawa Legion Parking Lot (Located at 3583 Petawawa Blvd.)The Rally itself will be short in time. (approx. 30 minutes total)

10:10 am the roads will be closed and participants will be asked to form the rows of the parade.Two Parade marshals will be there to help people form up and stay organized.
The Parade route will be as follows:
Down Petawawa Blvd, up Victoria Street and ending behind the town office.
Pictures can be taken from the bottom of the hill at this point.
Due to road closures, our timings must be strict. The OPP will be on hand to participate and to ensure safety during the Parade.

A couple of us at work keep the Red Friday going every week, especially myself and a crusty old British ex-pat (27 yrs in the British forces, retired in Canada) but it’s surprising how many people still haven’t heard of it.
