Passersby on the seawall and residents overlooking False Creek will wake up to an adorable spectacle on Canada Day.
The False Creek Ferries are returning to their aquatic stage on their namesake waters to mark Canada's birthday, as they have done for years before.
This summer, the little blue ferries will be performing their annual ballet the morning of Saturday, July 1, starting at 8:15 a.m. by the Olympic Village and moving west along the water until the show arrives near David Lam Park by 8:45 a.m., between the Granville and Burrard bridges by 9:15 a.m., and near Sunset Beach by 9:45 a.m.
Locals wanting to catch a glimpse of the ferryboat ballet can spectate from Habitat Island, the Yaletown Ferry Dock, the east side of the Cambie Bridge, the seawall near David Lam Park, the False Creek Ferry dock on Granville Island, and the east sidewalk on the Burrard Bridge.
This year marks the 41st year of False Creek Ferries crisscrossing the stretch of water; they launched in October of 1982 with two boats running between Granville Island and the West End. Now they operate 17 vessels, stopping at nine stops all year.
