Many Canadian provinces have set aside this as a long weekend. In British Columbia, today is called 'BC Day'. Of course there are a lot of events, such as the Vancouver Pride Parade yesterday. Many folks use the opportunity to travel and local ferry traffic is the busiest of the year. Parks too get a fair share of increased use.
BURNABY FRASER FORESHORE PARK
Recently, Jay read a notice that included a Burnaby park with picnic areas along the river. We wondered where it is. We didn't bring along any food, but drove to see it this morning. I'd never known about any picnic tables in that area. When I asked Google Maps in the car to navigate to it, the software showed it was just 8.1 kms and would take 13 minutes.
I love living in the Lower Mainland. There are so many nearby facilities that we seldom use and some we don't even know about. I'm thankful there are so many interesting places that are so darned close to us!
