I’m gonna be at Salmon Fest! I’ve gone every year of my life, not going to break the tradition now! 😀
There’s also a Canada Day party at Ron Mclean park in Burnaby! Come and join the fun. 11am to 2:30pm. Don’t bring a car, it’s a 5 minute walk from the Edmonds Skytrain station.
BC Bike Race and Adera are putting on a kids bike race at the North Vancouver festivities. It will be adorable!
Registration opens are 11:30am at Waterfront Park 🙂
