Hounds Victoria Weekend Parade

 

It was to be a parade like no other. During these times of social distancing, the Mississauga Hounds decided to bring some joy to the town in the form of the first annual Mississauga Hounds March on the City to Remember Her Majesty Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The parade is also known as the “It’s a long weekend so let’s all go up to cottage country” parade.

 

The parade started at the Hounds Arena, where they gathered into separate vehicles. Some rode in convertibles, while others rode on floats designed for the parade. The parade route went from the arena through the downtown core, before making a turn for the hospital, where the parade honked their horns in a salute to the front-line workers. This, however, was no normal honking. Instead, the cars and floats horns were synced to play the entirety of the Flight of the Bumblebee, in what will surely become a staple of the Mississauga Hounds March on the City to Remember Her Majesty Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland day parade.

 

For the Hounds, it was a nice break from the early season, and allowed them a chance to salute all of those working on the front lines to help stop the spread. The success of the parade has prompted Hounds fans to start a petition to make the Flight of the Bumblebee the official goal song of the team. So in that respect, the parade was a success. More importantly, the hounds were able to show respect and thank the hard working health care workers.
