Canada Day Parade - North Vancouver, B.C. - July 1, 2011
This year's Canada Day Parade in North Vancouver, celebrates Canada's 144th Birthday. Although the weather was dull and overcast, the rain held off, and we spectators were privy to a fun, community event that makes us feel proud to be Canadian and North Vancouverites, all at the same time.
We gave a big round of applause to the motorcycle police. Heaven knows the police have gone through enough after the antics of the latest and hopefully last Stanley Cup riot. We also were treated to the blood-stirring sounds of bagpipes, marching bands and ethnic dancers. The local firefighters came out in full force, with many of their trucks lined up in the parade.
Here are a few photos captured from this morning's parade. HAPPY CANADA DAY!
