It's Cherry Blossom Time

Vancouver's Cherry Blossom Festival comprises a number of events throughout the city that serve to showcase Vancouver's 43,000 outstanding cherry trees.  The festival runs from March 29 to April 25.  

In the 1930's, Japan gifted Canada hundreds of trees as a thank-you to Japanese-Canadians who served in World War I.  They said on the news tonight, cherry blossoms in Vancouver were voted fourth best in the world!  We've been loving them all over the city.
