Canada Day
Information on the annual Canada Day Celebration and Fireworks display will start to become available in June. The Town of Hanna, with the financial support of the Government of Canada through the ‘Celebrate Canada’ grant, organize July 1. This day-long party includes games and activities, food and beverages, and outstanding entertainment all at no or very little cost to attendees.
A spectacular fireworks display is always a part of the festivities. Fireworks are often held on the evening of June 30 since July 1 is a holiday. That way, all ages can attend without fear of staying out late the night before work, daycare, or swimming lessons.

Volunteer Appreciation
Hanna has always taken great pride in having a very strong and involved community. Many of the programs and activities offered in the community would not be available if it weren’t for the many hours of time, commitment, and expertise of volunteers.
Each spring, the Town of Hanna hosts event(s) to recognize volunteers. These events are always well supported and appreciated by those who attend.
Started in 2023, the Wright family, formerly of Hanna, initiated the Gordon and Bernice Pincome Community Volunteer Award. This award was initiated to remember the late Gordon and Bermice Pincombe and recognize them for their outstanding citizenship, inspiring volunteer efforts and positive community engagement. Throughout their lives, Gordon and Bernice donated coutless hours ot support local agencies, including the Royal Canadian Legion, the Women’s Auxiliary and the Hanna Tourism Centre. The Wright family is keeping their memory and inspiration alive by acknowleging other noteworthy citizens of Hanna and area. Details can be found on the nomination form.
