It is moments like this that add to the stories of a city, and give it texture. It also brings residents together in celebration, adding to a feeling of belonging. While I wasn’t part of the 2010 Olympic hockey gold medal celebration, I was lucky enough to be in the thick of things yesterday!

My friend, Jen, and I (Yuri Artibise) celebrate on Granville St in downtown Vancouver
