The highly anticipated Victoria Day Parade is set for Monday, aiming to achieve unprecedented participation levels, with organizers gearing up for a potentially record-breaking turnout.

Officials have noted that heightened public interest, favorable weather predictions, and expanded community involvement have all contributed to the surge in expected participation this year.
