Canada Day 2005 was a busy year on the West Coast. The front page of the July 6, 2005 Westerly News carried photos from different community events that took place on July 1 that year.
In Tofino, people were celebrating the opening of the Tuff City Skate Park with a Canada Flag-decorated cake for anyone who wanted a piece.
At the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve event, Louanne Ralston was the official cake-cutter while some enthusiastic (and hungry) young celebrants looked on.
In Ucluelet, then-Mayor Dianne St. Jacques served up some sweet treats on the waterfront, where the rest of the community was also celebrating the day.
