Many of the Vancouver-area science fiction clubs are planning to march together in the North Shore Canada Day parade, as a way to raise awareness of fandom and the fan clubs of greater Vancouver. Some will be in costume, others may hold signs or props. I know that there are at least a few of us with Stargate-themed costumes and toys (tell me I'm not the only one!). I think it could be fun to get out there and show our love for Stargate. The parade route isn't too long, so it's not a long time commitment or too long to be out in the sun. We have two months, so there's time to plan something interesting.

As many of us are involved in more than one group, it would be useful to RSVP to the group you're planning to march with, to get an estimate of the number for the entry form.

The ongoing discussion for all the groups is at:

The parade begins at 10:00 at 13th Street & Grand Boulevard and proceeds down 13th Street to Lonsdale, turning north on Lonsdale. At 17th Street the parade again heads west where it will end at Mahon Park.
