Victoria celebration back at legislature lawn and Inner Harbour; fireworks at 10:20 p.m.
After 81 years of celebrating Canada Day, Bill Virney decided that it was finally time to get a hat to match the occasion.
Miranda arrived in Victoria seven months ago from the Philippines on a work permit and plans to eventually become a nurse and a Canadian citizen. “There’s always going to be challenges regardless of the venue, but I just think the lawn of the legislature makes Victoria Canada Day one of the most charming and beautiful Canada Day venues in the entire country,” he said.
At about 11:30 a.m., according to traditional protocol, Lekwungen elder Frank George of the Songhees Nation and Jackie Albany, an elected councillor of the Songhees Nation, welcomed two canoes carrying Lekwungen dignitaries from both Nations, as well as Victoria Mayor Marianne Alto and Port Angeles Mayor Kate Dexter to shore in Victoria’s Inner Harbour.
