Canada Day, Saint John 2025

Canada Day, Saint John 2025

Eunice Flores

Beneath the skies of red and gold,
Where Bay of Fundy tides unfold,
Saint John awakes with flags held high,
As fireworks bloom across the sky.

Local streets hum with cheer,
Music floats for all to hear,
Harbour mist and lighthouse beam,
Blend with laughter in a summer dream.

The Loyalist heart, still proud and bold,
Beats in stories long retold,
And in this city’s ocean light,
Canada shines pure and bright.

So raise a toast by Market Square,
With hope and joy that fills the air —
For in Saint John, by sea and sun,
The north’s great song is never done.
