CANADA DAY FIREWORKS
The Canada Day Burrard Inlet Fireworks Show will be a spectacular two
barge high-altitude fireworks display. One barge will be located in Coal
Harbour and viewable from the North Shore, Canada Place and Vancouver.
The second barge will be located off the shores of West Vancouver
Seawall and viewable from both West Vancouver and parts of Vancouver.
Canada Place event attendees are able to see both fireworks shows with
the Coal Harbour barge dominating the foreground and the West Vancouver
barges visible in the background.
The 25 minute show will be a unique multi-community event allows guests
from several communities to view the incredible display. The show is a
perfect way to end daytime Canada Day celebrations at Canada Place, in
West Vancouver and North Vancouver and throughout the surrounding
communities.
