The Vancouver Police Motorcycle Drill Team will be marshalling all participants at the River Rock at 7 a.m. on the day.

The escorted procession will proceed through Richmond, onto Highway 99 south and continue to Peace Arch Park at the Peace Arch border crossing. The service is scheduled to coincide with the timing of the historic events of the day with a fly-by to mark the moment.

After the service, there will be an informal gathering for donuts, coffee, cigars, and camaraderie at the Peace Arch Park pavilion.

Although the ride focus is on motorcyclists, there will also be a number of emergency services vehicles, vintage emergency vehicles, and others participating.
