July 1 in North Vancouver

Dominion Day in North Van was a lot of fun. I was working, but I could tell that there were a lot of people out enjoying themselves and celebrating the day. It was nice to see. Though the affair was not as grand as the celebrations in Ottawa, it was also a lot more controlled.

It was nice to be in the Vancouver are too. It has been a while since I last spent time here. I walked around downtown. The work being done on the Canada Line is tremendous, but what really struck me was the way that Vancouver is developing into a beautiful, urban city. There is a clear pride taken in the architecture and the design of downtown space that one can live in and not feel overwhelmed by steel, glass and concrete. It is a nice place - if you can afford it.
