Another wonderful Victoria Day Parade in the most wonderful of villages, Cumberland, B.C. No question that Cumberland knows how to throw a parade! Thanks to Cumberland Mayor Vickey Brown and Councillors Sullivan and Borecky, MLA Ronna-Rae Leonard, the Honourable Josie Osborne and Comox Mayor Nicole Minions for walking with me and to all those along the parade route who greeted us so warmly. Congrats to this year's May Queen. I am told it was the 136th coronation of a May Queen in the history of Cumberland. It was delightful as always to share the joy of the children dancing around the May Pole, to listen to the stirring wail of the combined pipe bands from central Island and Powell River. At the end of the afternoon, the obligatory visit to the Canadian Legion to greet old friends and new. Thanks to the parade marshal and all the volunteers who made this parade so memorable again this year! PS - Go Canucks!
