Peter Davies of AHA MEDIA in Vancouver Canuck Fans promo video shoot
Peter Davies says
Today was a day unlike most where I was able to go down to Rogers Arena to help support my team. The call went out for volunteers to be a part of a promo video for the Canucks and there I was cheering and waving alongside everyone else. Roger Neilson (whose statue we wer under) would have been proud as we waved the “white towel” and wore our Canucks jerseys.

2011 Grey Cup – BC Lions vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Vancouver, Canada
Peter Davies of AHA MEDIA writes
The 2011 Grey Cup was played in the brand new BC Place this year but the teams playing in the Final surprised most people. Winnipeg finished with only 4 wins last season but went on to win the Eastern
conference this year. BC started the season 0-5 but then won 11 of the next 13 games to finish top in the league. I would say that this was the most anticipated and most exciting game this year (very closely followed by the game a few weeks ago when McCallum scored the game winning Field Goal).
BC Place was packed and the fans were rabid for the cup. Both teams started off slowly with plenty of punts and field
goals, finishing the first half 14-9 in favor of BC. Nickelback played during the half time show to 50,000 appreciative fans.
The 3rd quarter started similar to the first half with both teams punting and only putting up a few points. Travis Lulay (the Most Outstanding Player of the year) put together some very impressive pushes during the end of the 3rd quarter and the beginning of the 4th quarter to put BC up by 15 points (31-16) but right near the end of the game, Buck Pierce (ex
BC Lion) gambled on 3rd and Long to get a first down which allowed him to then find Terrence Edwards for a 14 yard touchdown pass.
All of a sudden the game was close (only a touchdown and 2 points apart) and the fans were getting silent. BC’s Defense stopped an attempted Onside kick (very complicated) and were able to give Paul McCallum very good field position to kick his 4th field goal of the game to put the Lions up 34-23 and that was enough as BC went on to win its 6th Grey Cup and
first since 2006.
Travis Lulay was awarded the Grey Cup MVP with his very impressive 320 yds passing and 2 touchdowns with n0 interceptions.
MacLure’s Cabs celebrates their 100 year anniversary at CBC Studios in Vancouver!
Maclure’s Cabs celebrated their 100th anniversary at CBC Vancouver studios in grand style!!
Beautifully catered event and prepared from chefs right in front of you, fantastic music, door prizes, and tons of fun!
An extremely memorable experience!
Maclure’s Cabs has been an important part of Vancouver’s history and continues to do so with their new line of “green” cabs.
About 1000 people packed the halls of the CBC radio building in Vancouver enjoying Sushi, traditional Indian food, Swedish Meatballs, and delicious Indian sweets for dessert.
The famous Dal Richards and his Orchestra played jazz music in the background and drew many well deserved applauses from a crowd dressed to the
nines in Tuxedos, Suits, Beautiful Saris (for the women of course) and elegant evening gowns.
There were speeches from various people including the President of Maclure’s Cabs, Geoff Meggs from the city of Vancouver.
We were delighted to view one of the original Cadillac Cabs from 100 years ago (fully restored of course) “driven” by a cabbie in traditional uniform, peaked cap, long trenchcoat, and shiny shoes. Even the people greeting us at the door were dressed in traditional outfits from the period.
We will never forget the night as it was amazing and memorable. We have told ALL our friends and families about MacLure’s Cabs!
Thank you Maclure’s for 100 years of great service, may there be at least another 100 years
Below is a welcoming letter from Sucha Poonia, President of MacLure’s Cabs
Welcome to MacLure’s Cabs 100 year celebration!
Dear Friends,
It is with great pride that I welcome you to this milestone in MacLure’s history. We are pleased and privileged to have so many riders, suppliers, industry partners, friends and relatives here to join us in our celebration of 100 years serving in Vancouver.
In the beginning, taxi fares often consisted of trips to Stanley Park and trips across town. Our fleet started with Cadillac’s and later included a Packard Limousine. Since then we have grown to a fleet of 65, and we service all the way to Whistler.
MacLure’s Cabs strives to provide clean, safe, enjoyable rides, getting you to your destination in a timely fashion. Our drivers have all taken the Taxi Host program, to help us ensure that our riders receive the best possible service.
We have worked hard to become environmentally responsible, as seen by our fleet that mostly consists of Hybrid Toyata Prius’s. As soon as there are Hybrid minivans available, we will continue to “green” our fleet.
We are glad you were able to attend our 100th Anniversary, and we look forward to serving Vancouver for another 100 years.
Sincerely,
Sucha Poonia
President
MacLure’s Cabs Inc.
