Don’t miss out on Canada Day fun!

There’s certainly no excuse for thumb-twiddling this Long Weekend, given the myriad events that have been organized to celebrate Canada 150+ in style.

Canada Day flagThe Canada Day Parade is extra-special this year, and will kick off with a Lions Pancake Breakfast in Grand Boulevard Park starting at 7:30 a.m. The parade will start at 10am, marching from the park along 13th Street, turning right on Lonsdale and left on West 17th Street, terminating at Jones (a route map is right here.) Don’t forget your hats, glasses and sunblock!

Nourish Market opens nice noshery

We suspect, however, that there will be lots of “take away” from its new ice cream counter, from which various Mario’s Gelati or (soon) Earnest ice cream flavours are served, starting at $4 for a single scoop. The variety of food choices is also good, including Peqish salads and sandwiches and treats from the Two Daughters Bakeshop in North Vancouver. There are a a range of natural and gluten-free choices to keep everyone in your party happy, and the prices are reasonable.
