The starting point is the Opening Ceremony and Welcome Party, where you’ll catch up with old friends and make plenty of new ones. Then it’s time to get the team on the pitch. There’s a rest day in between each round of match days – the highlights include a Picnic Day at West Coast Railway Heritage Park and sightseeing along the ‘BC’ coast. Sadly, all good things must come to end, but not without a Grand Finale Awards Dinner and Dance on the last night. Needless to say, Vancouver will provide a Festival to remember.
