Premier Christy Clark chose to walk the parade route during Saturday's annual Westside Daze Parade
Sunscreen and lots of water were the order of the day as Westside Daze officially kicked off with the annual parade.
Thousands greeted pipe bands, clowns, floats and dignitaries under a partly sunny sky Saturday morning.
And, of course there was candy - lots and lots of candy for the kids and the young at heart.
The five day family festival runs through Canada Day on Wednesday.
Saturday is kid's day with activities for the youngsters all afternoon at Memorial Park below Johnson Bentley Memorial Pool.
The opening day concludes with a fireworks show slated for 10:15 p.m. at Gellatly Bay.
