HAPPY CANADA DAY - JULY 1, 2011 I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Canada Day on July 1st.  This will be Canada's 144th birthday.  Quite a young country, in the grand scheme of things.  Vancouver will be celebrating with lots of activities.  There will be concerts all day at Canada Place, from 10am - 7pm.  At 7pm, the Canada Day Parade marches from Georgia Street to Burrard & Hastings, complete with marching bands, floats and multicultural dancers.  The evening will culminate with a fireworks display over the Burrard Inlet.  Here's a link for more information. If you are closer to Granville Island, you can find live jazz, activities and fun from 8am - midnight.  What's happening in my neck of the woods, North Vancouver?  Why, a parade, of course!  Starting from 13th and Grand B...
