The City of Saint John celebrates it's 225th anniversary next year and there is plenty for everyone to get involved. The festivities kick off on May.18th......the same day the city was incorporated back in 1785. Chair of the Committee is Peter Buckland who tells CHSJ News, this is a very exciting time for the city and all it's residents.
There will be a huge day long celebration July.3rd at Rockwood Park along with festivals through-out the summer and programs designed to celebrate and highlight the city's arts, culture and history. The website for the celebration is www.saintjohn225.com and should be up and running early in the new year.
