Granville Island Vancouver
Granville Island Vancouver
Viva Vancouver! On millennium summer I stayed with cousins at the cozy flat on the 4th and 6th Avenue, in June 2024 from Helsinki stopover in München, stay overnight in Montreal and finally arrive YVR, I find both excitement yet nostalgia to commute in the wagon of the sky train and breathe freeze at Kitsilano Beach.
Named after the British Explorer Royal Navy Officer George Vancouver, Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada, holding the snow-capped volcano, Pacific coastlines, deep rapids and beautiful islands, the taste of air in Vancouver delivers a mixed sense of Japanese cherries and Canadian maples. Though my check-in luggage is still detained in Germany on 28th June, nevertheless, extra shopping opportunity is an alternative way to celebrate upcoming Canada Day!
Originally called Dominion Day, it celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, when the three separate colonies of the United Canadas, inclusive of Ontario plus Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were united into a single dominion within the British Empire called Canada. Renamed in 1982, Canada Day is now a federal statutory holiday. On Canada Day, citizens are wearing maple logo shirts, decorate blanc or red makeups or tattoos, reuniting with beloved family and friends.
On the 1st of July 2024, we girls are very ready head toward to the Granville Island, where the farmer’s markets, organic products, delicious bites and live performances continuing whole day long.
