Post by: Lise on Jun 23 08 05:58
G'day!!! Get your moose and flags ready!

  CANADA DAY FIREWORKS 1ST JULY

  The Canada Day Burrard Inlet Fireworks Show will be a spectacular two barge high-altitude fireworks display. One barge will be located in Coal Harbour and viewable from the North Shore, Canada Place and Vancouver. The second barge will be located off the shores of West Vancouver Seawall and viewable from both West Vancouver and parts of Vancouver. Canada Place event attendees are able to see both fireworks shows with the Coal Harbour barge dominating the foreground and the West Vancouver barges visible in the background.  The 25 minute show will be a unique multi-community event allows guests from several communities to view the incredible display. The show is a perfect way to end daytime Canada Day celebrations at Canada Place, in West Vancouver and North Vancouver and throughout the surrounding communities.

and by Moose, do you mean Moosehead beer? One of the only breweries left in Canada that hasn't had foreign takeover? 6th generation of Canadian ownership!

  *raises pint of ice cold Moosehead*

  Even poor Alexander Keiths is no longer Canadian.

My parents always used to try and plan a camping trip through the first week of July. July 1 in Canada, and by July 4 at Lake Chelan, Washington. Chelan is a sweet place!

No plans for celebration here.  Maybe I'll just make a maple leaf shaped cheesecake.(//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
