Saturday was a wonderful day to #celebridge. A large group (I don’t do crowd estimates, but have heard between 700-1000 were reported) came together, with stiltwalkers, bagpipers and cyclists all eager to cross the Peace Bridge. Considering the bridge is mere blocks from our apartment and that we’ll be using this bridge a lot in the future, Xander and I had to come out for the fun!

My actual bridge images didn’t turn out well, but you can see many more pictures at the  Calgary Herald or on Flickr. Things we loved about the bridge include the colours and the fact that the sidewalks are raised and lit (clearly separated from the wide bike lane in the middle). It’s going to be great using the bridge to get downtown, whether by bike or foot.

Of course, we’re not the only ones excited. Here’s a clip of the first band to play on the Peace Bridge, Rotary Park (because everything’s better with a band):
