Pitt Meadows Day could not be held this year, due to crowd limitations mandated around the coronavirus.

But, the parade, one of the largest components of the festival, went ahead – albeit not as normal.

It was simply a drive-by, through the centre of the city, and involved firefighters, politicians, and some city staff.
