Today, Canada’s heritage is reflected in numerous ways, not the least of which is the Salmon Festival Parade which kicks off at 10 a.m. and winds its way through Steveston from Garry Point Park to Railway Ave. and Moncton Street.
Be sure to grab good viewpoint curb side along the route as the 100 or so floats roll by.
One of the best places to be is on the corner of Third Ave. and Moncton St. as the cavalcade of bands, community and sports groups makes the sweeping turn towards the Steveston Community Centre.
Remember, there will be a number of road closures that morning, with Moncton Street (from Third Ave. to Bayview St.) shut to traffic until 5 p.m.
And with limited parking in the village, a free shuttle service will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. leaving from the City Operations Yard (5599 Lynas Lane) and dropping and picking up passengers at Railway Ave. and Moncton St. and the Britannia Shipyards.
