| Celebration of Light fireworks starts next Wednesday
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - One week to go before the skies over English Bay are lit up with colourful explosions. Canada goes first when the HSBC Celebration of Light kicks off next Wednesday night.
Canada is defending champion, thanks to the Godzilla-themed show. This year they're bringing you to the land of Oz, with their take on the classic Wizard of Oz story they're calling No Place Like Home. Team Canada's performance will be followed by efforts from South Africa, the U.K. and China. There is no grand finale this time.
Liz at the Boathouse Restaurant on English Bay says staff love fireworks nights and so do their customers. "The phones have not stopped ringing about fireworks reservations, so we'll see. We do sell out most of the time. If we don't sell out, we just open it to the public the day of [the event]."
The fireworks start at 10 p.m.--rain or shine--and your best views can be found at English Bay, Kitsilano, Vanier Park, Jericho Beach. Just like last year, you can vote for your favorite by texting LIGHT to 100100. However, the English Bay beach party starts at 6:30 p.m. with free performances from the likes of Wide Mouth Mason and 54-40.
Of course, fireworks nights mean traffic restrictions--the West End will be closed to traffic at 7:30 and Kits Point will be blocked at 6 each competition night. Stay tuned to News1130 traffic each night for updates. http://celebration-of-light.com/ |

August is suppose to be the hottest and Sept's are usually very nice but it's suppose to be mild this winter because El Nino is back which means more rain less snow. It might cause problems in Feb if we don't get enough snow.
