I'd love to know why HRM has been hiring local bands to play at big events such as Canada Day? We can see these bands almost any weekend we want to by going down town. This is supposed to be a once a year celebration. They have an entire year to plan for it and yet they hire local bands. With all the tax dollars going into it you'd think they'd hire a big name to play. Such as Collin James, April Wine, Trooper. See I kept it Canadian. Who want to stand outside in hot humid weather to hear bands we never hear of before or bands we're tired of seeing? Not me.—Egar for entertainment
