The Rotary Parade at the Tsawwassen Sun Festival is no exception, drawing big crowds and plenty of community participation.

"It's a very diverse parade. You get a lot of community involvement," says Brian Coe, parade coordinator for the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen.

He estimates there will be over 80 entries in the procession, which takes place Monday morning.

Local businesses along with community groups like the Rotary Club and the Shriners will be represented in the parade. "It's a big draw. This

year it'll be well over an hour," Coe says. He estimates between 6,000 to 7,000 people will come out to watch the event, one of the highlights of the annual Sun Festival.

The parade is set to start at 11 a.m. on Monday. It heads south on 56th Street, from 16th Avenue to Winskill Park.
