On  September 8 from 11am - 4pm Vancouver will be celebrating the annual Aboriginal Spirit Celebration at one of Vancouver's well known attractions, Canada Place. The location itself is amazing with the North Shore mountains in the background towering over the cool ocean waters that separate downtown Vancouver from the North Shore. Throw in a fun day of First Nation's music, art and culture and you're in for a treat.

You won't want to miss out on the performance by Full Circle: First Nations Performance. They have been producing and performing award-winning Aboriginal art and performances in Canada since 1995. First Nations art is truly one of a kind and awe inspiring and you can see many elements of it in and around British Columbia.
