Nature's beauty abounds on the way to Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver.

Grouse Grind is a challenging hike up Grouse Mountain and must do for all visitors.

The victorious Grouse Grinders!

View from the top.

An easy way down is by the cable car.

Enjoying the ride down the mountain on the spectacular tram car.

Our next stop was Granville Island for our first Canada Day parade.

We wouldn't be in Canada without a photo with a genuine Royal Canadian Mounty.

Not much of a reaction from this fellow.

The lead band.

Happy onlookers.

The Mexico contingent.

We passed the torch to lots of parade watchers.

These were some of the taller Ice Hockey players.

Next we headed to Stanley Park for a 10 km run.

Getting ready for the Vancouver City Parade in the evening, our second for the day.

What would a parade be without some Beauty Queens?

There was probably around 50,000 people along the parade route.

Lots of people wanted to hold the torch.

We used the sound system from Philadelphia to share our song with all the well wishers.

Amburoha joined us officially today and will be with us until we reach New York, welcome.

Brahmata celebrates her Canadian heritage.

Natabara gets some photos.

Prapti enjoys shaing the torch.

Thank you Canada and happy birthday!!!
