This years Thanksgiving Canadian Heroes had the priviledge in participating at the Octoberfest parade in Kitchener, On. With Estimated crowds of over 100,000 spectators and national media coverage, our four cars were driven with pride. It was pleasant to receive such a great response from the crowd many who gave standing ovations, and placing their hands on their heart as we passed by. Overall it was a great experience and overwhelming to say the least.

Susie Lubberts-Macdonald proud Canadian and Canadian Heroes volunteer wrote: “The Thanksgiving/Octoberfest parade that we participated in with Canadian Heroes was truly an amazing experience.A sea of people lined the streets and when we drove past they clapped, rising from their chairs and giving us a standing ovation. I got goosebumps, tears welled up in my eyes, and a sense of pride overwhelmed me. Thank you Chris Ecklund and Canadian Heroes for allowing me to experience this.”
