Parksville, BC. Somehow we ended up parked right in the middle of what are considered to be one of the best Canada Day celebrations on Vancouver Island. Parade this morning, fair in the park next door this afternoon, and fireworks over the water tonight. Low tide at mid-day takes the tide out half a mile - plenty of room for families, kids, kites, dogs, even swimming! And there's a boardwalk along the shore with a labyrinth at one end for walking.
