BBC 179 decorated as a Dragon Trolley. Since 1998, the 97 Street and Area BRZ
has had a decorated trolleybus run during the Lunar New Year Firecracker Parade.
Traditionally, 1947 Brill #148 had been decorated and sent out in the parade,
but this year marked the first time a BBC trolley was used. Not only was the
bus fancily decorated for the event, it also provided warmth for anyone who
attended. Dignitaries who rode the bus this year included Premier Ed Stelmach,
Councillor Michael Phair, and Conservative MP Laurie Hawn. Photo by Ashton Wong.
