On August 7th, hundreds of onlookers lined Comox Drive’s curbsides to watch the procession of numerous participants and vehicles during the B.C. Day Parade.
Shortly after the parade concluded, adults and children alike strolled to the Comox Valley Marina, where they enjoyed a diverse range of activities including live music, bouncy houses, food trucks, and various stalls.
Many spectators gathered in the marina’s parking lot to observe 16 duos as they constructed their artisanal boats - using rudimentary materials and tools - in preparation for the 34th Central Builder’s Home Hardware Build, Bail, and Sail competition.
In the early afternoon, the vessels were launched into the water for an exciting race to the finish line.
