_ Sunday’s celebration offers closer look at port

PORT DAY this year has a
multicultural theme,
highlighting the fact that
the Vancouver Port is the
place where Canada trades
with more than 90 nations.

By Anna Marie D'Angelo
News Reporter

Port Day will be held on Sun-
day, May 16 from 10 a.m, to 4
p.m. at three sites including
Waterfront Park, located in the
200-block of West Esplanade in
North Vancouver.

“The open house is a chance
for our shareholders, the general
public, to come down to the
waterfront to Canada’s largest

port,"' said Port Day organizer
Joy Gornall.

The annual open house will in-
clude free 40-minute tours of the
port on one of two vessels: The
Spirit of Vancouver and The Con-
stitution, a paddlewheeler.

Tickets for the tours will be
given out, at Waterfront Park, on
a first come, first-served basis at
9:30 a.m. for morning trips and at
noon for afternoon trips.

The multicultural theme is being
emphasized in the continuous
entertainment and food during the
day. Entertainers include the
Metropolitian Pops Band, Hugo
Guzman Trio, Soul Survivors and
Vancouver Morris Men.

Other North Shore Port Day
