This weekend along Brockville's waterfront

This weekend marks the return of the Tall Ships Festival here in Brockville with the Parade of Sail on Friday at 3 p.m. to kick off the event.

Despite the on-going political discourse between Canada and the U.S., Brockville Mayor Matt Wren reminds the public to be kind to all visitors.

There will be seven participating vessels this year, and Mayor Wren says he's excited to see a full lineup again.

Another important reminder from the Mayor is to please use the available shuttle buses rather than driving due to construction and heavy traffic.
