We do try to make the listings as accurate as possible, but there may be typographical/oversight errors or events may be cancelled or postponed without any notice. Verify all details from concerned event Websites/officials.
Your link to the fredricton parade leads to a scam business that copied the actual even details with the wrong times. Might wanna fix that link.
Thank you, corrected!
