Celtic Day celebrates Fort William's Scottish culture

THUNDER BAY — Celtic Day was a success at Fort William Historical Park on Sunday.

Jennifer McFarlane, manager of marketing and visitor experiences at the park, said it is a celebration of Celtic heritage, dance, bagpipes and drums, with lots going on throughout the park.

“It's a wonderful day for us here at Fort William Historical Park to share Celtic Day with the community," she said.

“The Celtic culture is really a key piece of the fur trade, so we typically celebrate the Scottish partners and agents of the Northwest Company throughout the year.

“We also celebrate the French-Canadian people and Voyagers in February at our Voyager Winter Carnival, and we celebrate the Indigenous people who are so integral to the fur trade as well,” she said.
