I just heard on the news that they are trying to create the largest human peace sign at Cloverdale's Millenium Park today at 1:30pm.
The Millenium Park is located on the corner of 176th Street and 64th Avenue. The best place to look for a parking spot is to go to 62nd Avenue, reached off 176th Street, and there are parking lots on this street including down past the Agriplex at the end of the street.
The news said they were asking for people to arrive by noon so they can start setting up.

Cloverdale Canada Day 2012 Celebration at Millenium Park
Canada Day celebrations on Sunday July 1, 2012 will be happening at the Millenium Park in Cloverdale. The park is located on the southeast corner of 64th Avenue and 176th Street.
Admission is free. Park never closes but most people start arriving between 9am and 11am to stake out a spot for the day. All day entertainment. Acts on the stage and some midway rides. Fireworks at 10:15pm end the day.
For more information and a line up of the entertainment see their website: http://www.surrey.ca/canadaday/
As for parking, if you get there early enough you will find parking off 62nd Avenue and 176th Street where the Agriplex is located. The parking lot at the fairgrounds, enter off 60th Avenue, also has parking. A lot of people park on the nearby streets but its not conveniently accessible. If you plan to do that get onto 172nd Street off 60th or 64th avenues and then choose any of the roads leading east from there. There is a park located on 62nd Avenue I think and there's a good sized parking lot there.
Whatever you do, don't park in the lot at the Cloverdale Crossing Mall across the street from the Millenium Park. There's a Tim Hortons in there, a London Drugs, a PriceSmart, etc. They put up big signs at the entrances saying customer parking only, no event parking. There are several security guards patrolling the lot. If you park your car here they watch where you're going. If you cross the street into the Millenium Park your car will probably be towed.
Want to just watch the fireworks? A good spot is the football field at Lord Tweedsmuir located on 180th Street, just north of 60th Avenue. Get there by 9pm and you should find a parking spot OK. Watch out for mosquitoes. Another good spot to watch is in the parking lot at the Cloverdale Super Market - the old Shop Easy - on the corner of 58th Avenue and 176th Street. The store is closed by then and this just has a nice view of the fireworks.
Getting out of Cloverdale after the fireworks? This is nightmare city for drivers, including cars travelling on 176th Street who have no intention of participating in the Canada Day activities. The police close down 176th Street between 60th and 64th Avenues. Open for pedestrians only. However last year they had to rethink that strategy. The corner of 60th Avenue and 176th Street can be dangerous for pedestrians even though it has pedestrian activated light and a chirper noisemaker. There's a lot of bad drivers who don't want to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and multiply that when there are hundreds of pedestrians leaving a major event. So last year the police made a last minute decision to put in another blockade 2 blocks away at 58th Avenue and the Cloverdale Bypass. The problem is there were no instructions so drivers unfamiliar with the area turned up towards the United Church and then going through the back alley to 60th Avenue only to find themselves no better off because the only option was to turn east down 60th right back to where the police had it blocked off and they had to turn south back down the Cloverdale Bypass. So they did the circle route. The police also had 60th Avenue closed off between 176A Street and 176th Street so cars could not reach the intersection at all. To get out of Cloverdale if you're closer to 64th Avenue, go that way either direction on 64th or continue north on 176th Street. If you're parked in the fairgrounds/casino lot, either head east on 60th and away from Cloverdale, or go down 176th Street to Highway 10 and whichever way you want to leave. Avoid residential areas that are unknown to you. They are choked with lost drivers.
Happy Canada Day!

Thoughts on Cloverdale's Canada Day 2011 Celebration
For the most part I stayed away from the corner of 64th Avenue and 176th Street on Canada Day. I heard the speakers and singers but it was too muffled for me to hear what was being said or sung clearly.
We wandered over to the Millenium Park around 8:30pm. When we got to the corner of 176th Street and 60th Avenue there were several traffic control people assisting pedestrians on the crosswalks. Traffic was still going through in all directions.
When we walked past the bus stop near the senior's centre there was a notice on it that there would be no bus service on July 1 between 10pm and 11pm but I don't recall where it said it was being rerouted.
There were also traffic control flag people on the intersection at 62nd Avenue.
We got in and found a spot in the park - standing - shortly before Trooper came onstage.
Now I like Trooper. I bought their Hot Shots album back in 1979 or 1980 whenever it came out. I've heard them before at the Maple Ridge fairgrounds about 5 years ago. I remember when I was younger and they had paper signs posted on telephone poles around Cloverdale advertising they'd be playing a concert at Lord Tweedsmuir or in one of the community halls in the fairgrounds. These are local guys from White Rock and Langley.
On Canada Day they were off. It took the sound team about halfway through the first song to figure out the lead singer's microphone wasn't working. Then they got it sorted out. It might have been better to leave it as it was. That singer just was not good. Out of tune. Or maybe his vocal cords have changed as he got older and he's not the singer he used to be. Maybe the sound system wasn't so good in a park that size. I don't know. I was disappointed after really enjoying them before.
Of course they wait until near the end of their set to play their big songs. We had already moved well back in the park by 10pm so we could get a quick exit. They finally played The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car. Off, off, off. Very sad. Just when you think it can't get any worse they bring Mayor Diane Watts onstage to sing Raise A Little Hell with them. No thanks. Very bad. We left.
Now it gets interesting when we make our way back to 176th Street. Traffic has been stopped between 60th and 64th Avenues. There are police vehicles at both these intersections blocking any traffic from entering this area. Conceivably people can drive out again because a lot of people have parked their cars in parking spaces accessed from 62nd Avenue. The flag people at that intersection were not doing a good job. They would not let any pedestrians cross at the intersection, on the north side that is. All everyone did was go to the south side and push the button. Not that they really had to push the button seeing as how no traffic was coming down 176th.
We walked on and got to the bus stop. 2 men were sitting on the bench. We asked if they were waiting for a bus. They were. We pointed out that someone had ripped the reroute sign off the bus post and said there was no service until after 11pm. They thanked us and asked if we knew where they could catch the bus. I said to try the bus stop about a block south or they might have to go to 58th Avenue.
Interesting at 60th Avenue. Not only was traffic not allowed northbound on 176th Street but no traffic was allowed east on 60th Avenue from 176th Street to at least the lights on 177B Street. Maybe all the way to Greenaway Park to get past the fairgrounds. I'm not sure. All I could see was that 60th Avenue was closed for aways. Again presumably to keep traffic out of the area while cars and pedestrians were leaving the Canada Day celebrations.
The flag people were making all traffic on 176th Street turn west down 60th.
Around this time a police car with its lights and siren on goes flying past us from the Millenium Park and heading toward Highway 10. A few minutes later on our walk we see the police car has stopped at the lights at the interesection of the former Cloverdale Mall. Its a little confusing. It is now the Cloverdale Bypass and if you head west the avenue is 58A and if you head east the avenue is 58th. Bottom line now the cop has stopped all traffic from continuing north on the Bypass/176th Street and the cars have to turn either right into downtown Cloverdale or left into subdivision hell.
That was where we were walking. Interesting how many cars took the subdivision hell option. They screamed down 175th Street to the Catholic Church and then like a bunch of rats jumping off a sinking ship they all followed each other to the right which dead ends into an alley that goes out at 60th Avenue. The problem is you can not turn left onto 6oth because there is a cement median blocking the turn. The only option from the alley is to turn right on 60th and find yourself a few feet away from the lights at 60th and 176th Street. Remember? The intersection that is blocked off for traffic going north on 176th and blocked off east on 60th. All these subdivision hell bound cars could do was turn right back down 176th and the Cloverdale Bypass. Right back where they started from. Didn't gain a whole lot doing that did they?
Now the fireworks start. We sort of walked backwards on the way home and enjoyed them. The fireworks stopped just before we got home.
And there you have it. My assessment of the last couple hours of Surrey's Canada Day Celebrations. The most interesting part of the night was caused by the street closures around the fairgrounds.

Getting the Millenium Park ready for Canada Day 2011
I drove past the Millenium Park in Cloverdale today when I had to pick up something at London Drugs across the street.
They're getting things set up. I saw several canopy tents. I saw a ferris wheel - kind of hard to miss that one its pretty tall! A few other midway rides are being set up. I saw the octopus - do they still call it that? I saw some food concessions, one selling chicken.
I heard the weather forecast on the news today - 50% chance of showers. Ha, I guess they're playing it safe! Have a 50% chance of getting that one right!
Might be a good idea to pack a light raincoat or hat. I would not recommend bringing an umbrella. In the past its been on the forbidden list for the Canada Day celebrations. Its kind of inconsiderate too with the amount of people present and everyone getting crowded together. Bringing an umbrella is sure to poke out some unsuspecting spectator.
What is on the forbidden list to bring inside the Millenium Park? Pets, BBQ's, alcohol, drugs.

Canada Day 2011 Celebrations at Cloverdale Millenium Park
July 1 Canada Day is either a very good day or a very bad day to be in Cloverdale. About 100,000 people show up each year for the celebrations at the Millenium Park that is on the southeast corner of 176th Street and 64th Avenue. If you are not planning to celebrate - stay away from this part of town. Traffic is a madhouse! Sucks if you have to get into the Clover Crossing Mall. Don't even think about parking here and sneaking across the street to watch the action. The mall puts out big signs stating don't park your car here and leave. Several security officers are stationed in the parking lot ensuring that people who park their cars in the lot are going into one of the shops. They will call for tow trucks.
Admission is free. Festivities start at 10am and go on for about 12 hours. Click here for more information about Canada Day celebrations.
The headline act this year is Trooper! They will be on stage from 8:45pm until 10:15pm. I last heard them when they played at the Maple Ridge Fair about 5 years. They put on a very good show. Good enough that we plan to walk over to the park so we can hear them. We don't think we'll get close enough to see them clearly because the place will be packed but we like their music. We'll also get to enjoy the fireworks on our walk home because that's when they'll be set off.
So where to park? The streets east of 176th are packed with cars. The fairgrounds has some parking and today I saw a sign pointing at the fairgrounds for Canada Day Parking. I think they open the gates to the racetrack and park a lot of cars in there.
Just want to watch the fireworks? A lot of people bring a blanket and sit down on the football field at Lord Tweedsmuir. Another good spot we found was the parking lot of the old Shop Easy and I never remember its current name. Cloverdale Super Market? Its on the corner of 176th Street and 58th Avenue. Good view of the fireworks from there if you sit in your car. The shop is closed so you're not taking away patron's parking.
Enjoy your long weekend!

What's happening in Cloverdale in July 2010
Well July looks to be a relatively quiet month in Cloverdale. Perhaps due to all the energy surrounding the Canada Day festivities the town has to spend a month resting up.
The horse racing season has ended until October 1 but the Fraser Downs Casino is open.
July 1, Thursday - 11am to 11pm - Canada Day at the Cloverdale Millenium Park may or may not be the place to be. Expecting crowds of around 100,000. For more info on the day long festivities, see their web site. http://www.canadaday.surrey.ca
July 24 to 25, Saturday and Sunday - 10am to 4pm - Honeybee Festival, including live entertainment and an artisan's market, held at the Honeybee Centre at Fry's Corner, that would be the northeast corner of 176th Street and the Fraser Highway. More information at their web page http://www.honeybeecentre.com
So far that's all I can see happening around Cloverdale. Will update if I see any flyers show up on the store windows.

Accident at Millenium Park?
We were driving eastbound on 64th Avenue this morning and noticed the edge of Cloverdale's Millenium Park, approximately across from Tim Hortons looks like a truck ran through it. Bushes, trees, and the split log rail fence are torn apart along the road. Its quite a mess and not particularly good news for whatever clean up crew the city will have to send in to get it looking better by Thursday for the Canada Day celebrations.
The real question is, was there an accident here or did somebody do this on purpose?

Canada Day Celebrations at Cloverdale's Millenium Park 2010
Just thought I'd throw it out there that once again Canada Day celebrations are happening at the Millenium Park in Cloverdale, corner of 64th Avenue and 176th Street on July 1.
Festivities begin at 10am and last until 10:30 with the fireworks show. There's entertainment all day long on the stage and various activities going on in the park including a midway. Admission is free but if you want to go on the rides or buy food at the concession stands, bring money with you. Many people bring picnic lunch and dinner and their lawn chairs and stay all day.
Parking available on the fairgrounds around the racetrack and casino. Whatever you do, don't park in the Clover Crossing Mall across the street. They have big signs up at all the entrances warning you if you park there and leave the property without your car it will be towed. They have security guards working the parking lot all day keeping an eye on where people are going after they park in the mall's parking lot.
Bottom line is if you are not planning to attend the Canada Day celebrations, this is a very good intersection to avoid all day.

If you're interested in volunteering for the celebrations there is a link for volunteers at the above web page. You have about another week to sign up if interesting in volunteering.
Festivities begin at 10am and last until 10:30 with the fireworks show. There's entertainment all day long on the stage and various activities going on in the park including a midway. Admission is free but if you want to go on the rides or buy food at the concession stands, bring money with you. Many people bring picnic lunch and dinner and their lawn chairs and stay all day.
Parking available on the fairgrounds around the racetrack and casino. Whatever you do, don't park in the Clover Crossing Mall across the street. They have big signs up at all the entrances warning you if you park there and leave the property without your car it will be towed. They have security guards working the parking lot all day keeping an eye on where people are going after they park in the mall's parking lot.
Bottom line is if you are not planning to attend the Canada Day celebrations, this is a very good intersection to avoid all day.
