Mr. Speaker, Vancouver has a vibrant and innovative cultural scene known for its firsts in Canada. Ballet BC ranks number three in North America. The VSO, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, featured students playing solos and complex pieces alongside the professional orchestra on the Day of Music last weekend, with five free venues across the city. Now they plan to merge performances of dance, symphony and opera to excite and titillate. Whether it is student dancers from Arts Umbrella on stage with Ballet BC or Bard on the Beach bringing Shakespeare in modern pop format to audiences, whatever the performing art, Vancouver is bringing a growing awareness of the arts to young and diverse viewers. We have full houses for live performances in my city. Vancouver is no hick town, colleagues. It rocks the Canadian art scene.
