Armed Forces Day could be quite the show next year.

So says 22 Wing Honourary Colonel George Burton.

He says next year Canada turns 150 and he’s hoping they’ll have something really special to announce.

Burton and fellow Honourary Colonel Harriet Madigan dropped by city council this week to thank the city for their part in putting on Armed Forces Day.

An estimated 6,000 people attended the June 8th event.

Burton says students are a big part of the day and that will continue, but they are looking at adding an event later in the day so those working can take part too.

He says the entire community deserves credit for a successful Armed Forces Day because the entire community supports it.
