Canada Day is still seven months way, but work on celebrating the nation's birthday has already started.

The North Okanagan Canada Day Society will hold its annual general meeting Jan. 16 and anyone interested in volunteering for the Canada Day celebrations next year is urged to attend.

The 2017 Canada Day celebrations involved daytime activities in Polson Park and evening fireworks on Okanagan Lake, and the society would like to build on the success of last year's celebrations. Volunteers are needed for numerous positions, ranging from executive membership to just lending a helping hand.

The AGM will be held at at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 16, at the People Place, 3402 - 27 Ave.
