Canada Day 2010: Granville Island

Comments 2 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Canada Day is coming up in just a few weeks and for many, it’s the official start of summer (since the May long weekend was rained-out around here). I’ll be profiling about half a dozen community events and festivals over the next few days using the tag: Canada Day so that when the series is complete you will be able to find all listings in one location. First up, Canada Day on Granville Island.

      Canada Day on Granville Island is amazing! But people: leave your cars at home! As someone who works down there, I can tell you, there is nothing more frustrating than being stuck in one way traffic on the island. Its great fun, but you don’t need a vehicle to enjoy the festivities!
