Ladner Pioneer May Days, the longest-running festival in Delta, since 1896, featured the community parade on May 25th. Rotary Club of Ladner prepared a float and entered the parade through the centre of Ladner, before thousands of people along the parade route.
Club members decorated a farm hay trailer, which Walt Hayward towed with this 1949 John Deere tractor, accompanied by other Rotarians. In the theme of this year's parade -- "music icons" -- the float featured musical notes and records with Erin, son of Ulf Ottho as a rocker. It also featured some of Rotary's 7 Areas of Focus, which are Promoting Peace, Fighting Disease, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene, Mother & Child Health, Education & Literacy, Growing Local Economies, and Protecting The Environment. – photos by Penny Offer and Peter Roaf
