The fourth annual RBC Sports Day in Canada on Saturday, November 30 was a national celebration of sport in communities across the country.

The Nelson event was hosted at the Nelson and District Community Complex on the concourse in the afternoon with many local sports clubs on hand.

With the goal of celebrating the role of sport in our community, kids and adults alike demonstrated their sport and watched others do the same.
