Stanley Cup Winner Brad Marchand named Honorary Parade Marshall !!!
Alexander Keith’s Natal Day Festival Event Chair Tim Rissesco announced today that 2011 Stanley Cup Team member Brad Marchand will be the Honorary Parade Marshall of the 2011 Natal Day Parade taking place in Halifax and Dartmouth on August 1st.
The Natal Day Parade will celebrate both the HRM (Halifax Regional Municipality) civic holiday and recognize Brad Marchand’s recent accomplishments in being part of the Boston Bruin’s 2011 Stanley Cup Championship Team. Mr. Marchand is a hometown hockey hero having played for the Halifax Mooseheads, the Dartmouth Subways and being a member of the two gold medal winning Canadian World Junior Hockey teams.
"Mr. Marchand's performance throughout the playoffs captivated all of us and we are honoured to have him lead our Parade.” said Mayor Peter Kelly.
In 2010, over 40,000 spectators enjoyed Natal Day Festival Parade featuring marching bands, floats, majorettes, clowns and many other entries. The Parade begins at 10:00 AM on Monday, August 1st, in Halifax at the corner of Kenny Street and Novalea Drive continues down Gottingen Street to North Street, crosses the Macdonald Bridge to Dartmouth and proceeds down Wyse Road to Alderney Drive until Ochterloney Street and ends at the corner of Ochterloney and Maple Streets.
PLEASE NOTE: We are very excited to have Brad Marchand as our Grand Parade Marshall! Unfortunately, he will not have the Stanley Cup with him on August 1st as part of the Natal Day Parade, nor will be have time with his busy training schedule for a meet and greet prior to, or following, our event. Marchand will be having his own Stanley Cup parade on August 29th . Details on this event will be announced at a later date.
