Tomorrow is Victoria Day, the day we in Canada remember the “Great White Mother”. It is an hour before midnight, but I can hear fireworks everywhere. Around 10 pm there was a very loud fireworks display at the waterfalls (the Falls, as we call it), about 4 miles or 6 kilometres away. And yes, although this is a city with highways and other noise, on many nights we can hear the roar of the falling water from here.
