I do what I can to find all Canadian highland games/festivals,
(it's actually getting tougher to find them....)
but if you know of any additions or changes I should make,
please e-mail me and include the necessary information.

Disclaimer — Double-check the dates before making plans !
I have checked the dates and links on April 26 2010....

Note: ? after a date means I cannot verify the date.
If I cannot find this year's date, I give the last known date.

Web-site links are given, if known;
otherwise e-mail addresses are given, if known.
