Canada Day 2012

Another great Canada Day celebration from City of Surrey in Cloverdale. This year was highlighted by an appearance by Canada's golden boy, Sam Roberts. Fun was had, food was consumed and flags were waved. The only damper was the Glastonbury-like mud pits, but it did not stop people from dancing and enjoying themselves. Can't wait to see what Surrey has in store next year. Until then, Fusion Fest is just around the corner.

The White Rock Farmer's Market

The White Rock Farmer's Market is every Sunday from 9am-1pm now until October 9th on Russell Avenue. I highly recommend Judy's baked selections, especially her pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Head down this sunday with your cloth bags and cash in hand!

Spirit of the Sea Festival 2011

I had a great time at the Spirit Of The Sea Festival here in White Rock this weekend. The free, family event was held right on the Promenade and included market shopping, live bands like Behind Sapphire and The Oh Wells, a BBQ by the Kiwanis Club, the famous torchlight parade and fireworks on Saturday night. If I'm still living here next year I am going to volunteer my time and hopefully help them tweak a few things that seemed to get overlooked. You know me, I like a good challenge!

The Summer So Far

I've been really taking my camera everywhere lately and catching some amazing things on the fly. The weather has been great for photo walks with a bit of sun and cloud most days. The rainbow was actually a FULL DOUBLE RAINBOW, but even my wide angle couldn't get it all in one shot. It was pretty beautiful to see one end in British Columbia and the other in Washington State. Hope you are enjoying some outdoor time where ever you are.

Canada Day 2011 In Surrey, BC

Here is just some photos that were taken on Canada Day in Cloverdale,BC on Friday. The family themed event was put on by the City of Surrey and including many activities and performances by the Peak Performance Top 20 as well as old favourites Trooper and Harlequin on the main stage. I was able to catch a few of the performances but honestly, it was really hard to see everything in one day. I was there for 6 hours and didn't see all the Top 20, Trooper or the Fireworks Show!

Much thanks to the great team behind this event for putting on yet another successful,fun and free event. Don't miss the Fusion Festival on July 16th and 17th at Holland Park in Surrey!

Watching the Canucks vs Boston Game 4 In Vancouver

I think he made our away game luck disappear.

I love this. All ethnicities..we are all Canucks.

Fans for a few years I see.

I have no idea.

A few people showed up.

...they brought their friends.

Roaming Dragon!

Canada Place had a small turnout due to poor location of the screen during daylight.

Whether you are a hardcore fan, casual watcher or straight up bandwagon-er, get on board the Stanley Cup Express and head down to Georgia and Homer for a fun, free and once-in-40years chance to watch our Vancouver Canucks bring the Stanley Cup home with 30-60,000 of your closest friends. I've done it once and hope to do it again this weekend for game 6. It's completely family friendly but if we win, I wouldn't recommend having little ones on Granville. While safety isn't an issue, it's very loud and just not the place for a stroller. Local food trucks are on hand, plenty of restrooms and a relaxed and party-like atmosphere. Go check it out!
