It’s going to be “Pride in the City” and this year’s logo was unveiled this evening by Senator Larry Campbell. He says he’s proud to be involved with the event that he says shows Vancouver’s diversity and ability to throw a great party.
But for such a big event, it doesn’t have stable funding every year. Campbell says that should change. He says it’s a huge generator of revenue for this city. Around 300 thousand people turn out to the event each year from all over the world. He believes the City of Vancouver should declare it a civic event, which would mean Pride organizers wouldn’t have to pay for city services like policing or garbage pick up.
Vancouver City Councillor Tim Stevenson says he’s planning on bringing the issue up again for the event’s 30th anniversary next year, but says he’s been told before that staff are concerned too many other events will also want this designation.

Post your Vancouver Aquarium photos here !
Vancouver Aquarium is one of our most loved and visually-exciting attractions. Opened in 1956, it was Canada’s first public aquarium, and is now undergoing a huge renovation that will make it a jewel in Vancouver’s crown. It’s a self-supporting, non-profit organization, receiving no operational government funding.
Vancouver Aquarium is the largest in Canada and one of the top 5 in North America. Renowned for display and interpretation excellence, it was the first facility to incorporate professional naturalists into galleries to interpret animal behavior. The Aquarium’s successful Marine Mammal Rescue program is internationally recognized, and its research projects extend worldwide.
Nearly a million annual visitors come for great critters, interesting marine science, cool architecture, and a splendid location - Stanley Park.
