West Van

gears up

for Community Day

COMMUNITY DAY seems to
have been a tradition in West Van-
couver since...well, it seems that it
goes so far back that no‘one can
tell us exactly when Community
Day celebrations began here. Most
educated guesses suggest the
beginning was whenever there were
people here to have a_ party
celebrating May Day.

There has always been the tradi-
tional maypole dancing and dances
imported from other parts of the
country and the world, lots of
music, games and fun.

‘It’s a celebration of spring, and
of the joy of those blessed with liv-
ing in this magnificent area sur-
rounded by the beauty of verdant
mountains, sparkling seas and a
temperate climate, which generally
keeps the snow high on the moun-
tains for skiing and the grass green
for golf.

As the community grew, Com-
munity Day became a celebration
for local and surrounding
residents. Parades, dances, floats,
music, games, May Queens and at-
tendants became the order of the
day. Since the first May Queen was
crowned in 1930, the queen has

traditionally planted a tree in
Ambleside Park.

The fast May Queen was crown-
ed in 1973, but the beautiful
flowering trees are still enjoyed.
This year’s parade will include
about 22 of the ladies crowned
through those years. There are 75
entries in this year’s parade, with
six bands including the Fireman’s
Band and the 1Sth Field Band. All
the local schools will be repre-
sented, some with as large a con-
tingent as 300.

There will be floats and antique
autos among the entries under the
direction of. parade marshal Emer-
son Short. Children and _ their
parents are invited to join the
parade. At noon, there will be a
fly-past by the Swiftbirds.

A full day of entertainment and
activities are scheduled for
everyone in the family. A pancake
breakfast including sausages and

beverages will be served by the °

West Van Rotary Club at the
N.W. corner of 18th and Marine
from 9 a.m. untif noon. Various
community groups will be serving
