Default Canada Day Celebrations!!!

So where all my Canadians at? We need to do something for Canada Day which is the coming Friday (For those who don't know, its July 1st). I got me my Canada flag and a Team Canada Olympic Jersey that I wanna wear lol. W_Man, CanuckSens, and all other Canadians on here, let me know what you guys are down for. Of course, everyone including non-Canadians are welcome to join the festivities. More the merrier


EDITED AT OP'S REQUEST TO ADD THE FOLLOWING
FINAL VENUE


So this is what we have so far. Brunch at 12, ice sowing at Dubai Mall ( If we get late at brunch or are too tired and stuff, we may skip this part, otherwise, its on!!!) and then off to gun range in Sharjah for indoor shooting and archery. Here are the details:

***PM W_Man for Brunch reservation details and to put your name down for it***

Restaurant Name: Terra Firma
Location: Al Badia Golf Course (Festival City)
Date/Time: July 1st, 2011 @ 12pm (noon)
Restaurant Phone#: +971 (0) 4 701 1127/8

Details about their 'Roast and Grapes' brunch:
The brunch is served every Friday from noon until 4pm (last bookings from 2:30pm), and is priced AED 195 for food and soft drinks or AED 330 for food and selected alcoholic beverages.

After brunch, we were thinking of going to Dubai Mall and go ice skating. It's ok if you don't know how to skate coz neither me or W_Man do either. I'm sure it will be fun either way.

After Dubai Mall, its off to the Golf and shooting Club in Sharjah where at can do the indoor gun range or archery. You can search them for their website in Google which will give you prices and the stuff they have.

Post brunch activites are still open for change if people prefer to do something else. Please post on here if you can make it. It's gonna be a fun day and looking forward to hanging out with you all. Happy Canada Day Everyone!!!!

Happy Canada Day for Friday!

It also happens to be my son's birthday so it's obviously a great day already!

A bunch of us are planning to go to Fujairah for a day, hang out at the beach then drive back on Saturday. Hotels are relatively cheap there now if you know where to look. I've found some for 200-400 a night for two people.

Canada Day is July 1st? Is that the day you guys became the 51st state?

Keep us posted on what you guys are planning....

Happy Canada Day (Fête du Canada) or Dominion Day (Le Jour de la Confédération), Guys... Enjoy it.

I thought the title was Canada Dry Celebrations - I'd hoped for a party with all the things you can mix with ginger ale

^^ Specially since we haven't yet been able to find Canada Dry ginger ale here so far. Most of the time you try to order ginger ale here and in return get a weird look from the server

How about a drive up to Jebel Hafeet? there's a hotel there apparently - have dinner and come back? Fujairah is also open ... not sure if we'll do a night stay but a drive might work?!??

I just pulled out my team Canada jersey - ready to rock!!

Mercure sits atop Jebel Hafeet food isnt much cop and it's a tired hotel, but the pool, sheisha place and views make it a nice spot i think
