Veterans who served during the Second World War or in Afghanistan — and in other missions — are invited to march with Port Coquitlam Legion members in the annual May Day parade.
Branch 133’s colour party, along with the PoCo Legion Pipe Band, the 777 Neptune Squadron Air Cadets and band, the Seaforth Highlanders Army Cadets and other soldiers, will take part in the May 12 procession (vets with mobility issues can get a lift in golf carts).
Call Phil Ranger at 604-942-8911 to apply.
Now in their 95th year, the May Day festivities run from May 4 to 13 with a variety of free family entertainment.
Its signature event, the Rotary May Day Parade, begins with a pancake breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. and, at 10:30 a.m., there is a pre-show with the Vancouver Police Department motorcycle drill squad. The Party in the Square continues the fun from noon to 5 p.m. and includes trolley tours leaving every half hour from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.
