Canada Day at Ambleside Park West Vancouver

Jul 1, 2005

By Catherine Barr

 

The rain stayed away and the families came out to play as Canada Day celebrations took place all across the North Shore. One of the larger gatherings was at West Vancouver's Ambleside Park where the day-long events included live bands, restaurant food, special ceremonies and lots of activities for the kids. After dark, the sky was alight with the municipality's first ever musical fireworks display that could be seen from as far away as North Van, Stanley Park and Kitsilano.
