With less than 2 months until Canada's big 150, some residents are already getting ready.

Mayor Peter Brown says some local shops have started showing their patriotism.

"I went to three different garden centres and they all were almost out of red and white flowers. They're really encouraging people to show your spirit for Canada, to decorate your home."

With the Canada Day Parade already sold out for it's floats and other activities ready to go, Mayor Brown says it's a good time to show your Canadian spirit.

"It's going to be pretty awesome. I've got my flags up...gotta celebrate the greatest country in the world. I don't know a more desirable place to live than Canada."
