Canada Day 2013 Events in Vancouver

Picture by Rob Masefield
As you know, Canada Day is coming up, Monday, July 1st is the day. If you are not a federally regulated employee and are scheduled to work on that day, chances are you will get a day off with pay. Yay!
Many smaller events will take place that day, but here is my suggested route for the day (Google Maps link inside).
Start with:
Canada Day at Granville Island
followed by:
Canada Day at Canada Place – Waterfront Party & Canada Day Parade;
and wrap up with:
Canada Day Burrard Inlet Fireworks Show
Oh, and just so everyone is aware, the Downtown barge with the fireworks has been moved to a new location.
420-friendly folks may be interested in Cannabis Day at Art Gallery in Downtown. It is not as large as April 20th, but does attract a number of attendees.
