Ben Lobb says there is a lot to be proud of as Canadians and intends on celebrating the Canada Day holiday with his family.
The Huron Bruce MP commented on the number of municipalities in Ontario who have cancelled Canada Day festivities this week.
Lobb tells 90.5 myFM that he respects the decisions being made by municipalities.
He says he understands the thinking of Canadians who are heartbroken after the recent discovery of mass graves at former residential schools.
Lobb went on to say that many communities have already cancelled or scaled down Canada Day celebrations due to the ongoing COVID restrictions.
