Good morning from a sunny New West.

Please pass on my thanks to all concerned in the organization and running of the annual Hyack parade.

It is one of the highlights of the year here in New Westminster and so enjoyed by many - who this year had to brave the rain and chill to come to watch the super bands, floats and everyone doing their best to entertain us.

A special thanks to all who took part in the parade and smiled and waved as they went past in the rain. 

The bands were superb, the floats were lovely and the many dancing, waving and marching folk were a joy to behold.

Even the rain could not dampen the spirit of the show and we look forward to next year when we will all turn out again to enjoy a wonderful display - hopefully on a sunny day like today.

Thank you all again.

Gael McLuckie, New Westminster
