The Honda Celebration of Light schedule for 2013 (@celeboflight)

April 30, 2013

A couple of fabulous announcements came out this morning at the Honda Celebration of Light press conference at Concord Pacific’s presentation centre in False Creek.

1. Red Bull Air Race Pilot Pete McLeod will be bringing his daredevil antics back to the skies in a brand new Eagle 540 aircraft! You may remember back in 2011 when he surprised us all by zooming in and performing a show that left of us in awe (VIDEO). Chatting with him this morning he explained that he grew up flying bushplanes in rural Ontario. Apparently that industry and job is a bit like the wild West (er, East) and he picked up a taste for the thrill of flight from it at a young age.

Here’s a Celebrity High Five from Pete!

2. The UK, Canada and Thailand will be the competing countries in this 23rd year of the fireworks, Vancouver’s longest running civic event. This is the first time Thailand has ever competed in the Celebration of Light. Below is the schedule.

High Fiving Celebrities: The Easter Bunny!

March 30, 2013

I ran into this guy a couple of days ago in the Village on False Creek as he was hanging out in Urban Fare doing live radio hits with my friend Cory Ashworth and The Peak 102.7FM. They were giving out free samples of food, candy and popsicles, they had a raffle and they were doing face painting and balloon animals.

This coming Friday is another family friendly event at Urban Fare in Southeast False Creek, with the proceeds going towards the BC Children’s Hospital Fund. See below for details! …READ THE REST OF THIS ENTRY>>>
