This morning we headed out to the Cloverdale Millennium Amphitheatre for Surrey’s Canada Day festivities. As Western Canada’s largest Canada Day celebration it doesn’t disappoint. There are aisles of food vendors, from Jamaican patties to crepes and perogies, a craft area for kids, sustainability zone, interactive displays, midway games and rides, and two large stages […]

We spent the early afternoon walking around the site of Surrey’s Canada Day celebrations. There’s so much to see between the temporary maple leaf tattoos, stilt walking and gold panning, and that’s not even covering the midway or any of the two concert stages.

Surrey Canada Day is in full swing at the Cloverdale Millenium Amphitheatre, just off 176th and 64th Avenue in Surrey. The smell of mini donuts fills the air as children get their faces painted, mascots roam the grounds, families enjoy picnic take-out lunches, and costumed storytellers charm walk-up audiences. The event kicked off around 10:30am […]

We’re stationed out in Surrey today to celebrate Canada Day. Photo credit: John Bollwitt on Flickr Though I went to bed with a fever last night and woke up shifting between being extremely pale and extremely red-faced, I just figured my body was showing its patriotism. We made it out in time for the opening […]

For the third year in a row we’ll be covering Canada Day in Surrey live from the Cloverdale Millenium Amphitheatre. John and I head out to Western Canada’s largest Canada Day celebration each year to provide live blogs, Tweets, photos, and videos. This year is no exception and with an ever-impressive line up, this free […]

Surrey holds the largest Canada Day event in the west and for this year they have another all-star lineup of performers, events, […]
