Join the community for the most anticipated patriotic celebration in Lakeland! The Annual Canada Day at the Mission transforms the breathtaking grounds of the historic Lac La Biche Mission into a vibrant, family-friendly festival. As one of the oldest settlements in Alberta, there is no more fitting or picturesque backdrop to celebrate our nation’s birthday.

• Family Fun Zone: Kids and adults alike can participate in a massive community cornhole tournament, face painting, interactive historical scavenger hunts, and classic lawn games.
• Historical Tours: Take advantage of complimentary, guided walking tours of the iconic Grey Nuns Convent and the historic mission buildings, bringing over a century of local heritage to life.
• Food & Refreshments: Grab a bite from local food trucks, enjoy a community BBQ, and sip on free refreshments while mingling with neighbors and visitors.
