If you’re feeling really patriotic, check out O’ Canada House on Barclay street (which is now a B&B). It’s where a version of our nation’s anthem was written, right here in downtown Vancouver.
Whatever your plans include tomorrow, be sure to slather on the sun block as it should be pretty toasty outside and stay tuned for my coverage from Surrey.

Yet again a great post.
If anyone has photo and/or video content from Canada Day we’d love it if you add it to our LocalsKnow.ca Flickr and YouTube groups.
There’s also a bunch of stuff happening on Granville Island (including a parade at 1:30-2pm)
Yup, happy Canada Day to all. I get to work today. What do I win? =D
