the celebration starts here
Meet the Team
Every year, a group of Volunteers from Cambridge and surrounding areas, get together to plan, organize and execute the largest single day event in the Region! Cambridge Celebrates Canada Day is fully funded by community support, donations and corporate sponsorship. And although we do receive an abundance of support from the City of Cambridge, the event runs independently.
The 2022 Cambridge Canada Day celebration
is brought to you by the following dedicated volunteers:
Ryan Marenger
(Committee Chair)
Ryan is in his 11th year on the committee, and is very passionate about the Canada Day celebrations in Cambridge. He has been a Volunteer at this event for over 20 years, in various capacities.
In his career, Ryan is a Tire & Wheel Fitment Specialist at Fountain Tire in Ayr, and is currently in the process of training to become an owner of his very own Fountain Tire store.
Aside from these two passions, he is active in the automotive club scene as the founder of RAM TRUCKZ LTD. and an administrator of Mopars of KW.

Christa Bailey
(Sponsorships & Marketing)
Christa came to Cambridge with an abundance of experience with some major festivals in Ontario. Arriving here to follow her grandchildren, Christa knew that to acquaint herself with her new community it would be important to volunteer. Working at Zaz Bistro has brought her closer to the citizens of Cambridge and experiencing the pandemic firsthand has shown her the strengths of Cambridgedians. "I look forward to getting my hands dirty and growing with the festival as we return to the park this year" Christa said.
