Cupcakes for Canada Line’s birthday!

As mentioned, we had a little celebration today at Broadway-City Hall Station for Canada Line’s one year anniversary!
It was a lovely sunny day, and TransLink staff handed out many mini cupcakes to riders and well-wishers. Lots of people dropped by to say hello, and we were out of cupcakes by 1:45 p.m.! Here’s some photos from the event.
Hey, there’s Ken!
Thank you for the cup cake! Was a lovely low-key event – well done!

Although it is nice to have a celebration and hand out cake. I did notice a couple of things. On tonights newscast, it showed Mr. Harding handing out cupcakes on Translink buses, as well as to people passing by the train station. What I found strange, is when Mr. Harding boarding the Canada Line at Broadway/City Hall, he rushed to grab a seat (next to where I stood), put 2 boxes of cupcakes on his lap, and proceeded to check messages on his Blackberry. I think it would have been more appropriate if he and his colleagues actually celebrated with the people using the Canada Line. I got off the train at Yaletown/Roundhouse, and Mr. Harding had made no attempt at that point to interact with the users of the Canada Line, preferring to stay attached to his Blackberry with the 2 boxes of cupcakes firmly planted on his lap.
It was nice to meet you Jhenifer. Thanks for the cupcakes and buttons. Lucas said it was nice that the skytrains had a baby and he enjoyed the birthday party. Happy Birthday Canada Line!
Happy Birthday Canada Line! Looks like your party was quite a success! Those cupcakes look yummmmmy, unfortunately I passed through the station about an hour too late! Oh well. :) It still looked like they were having a good time on the street in front of the station.
Is there going to be a 25th birfday party for the Expo Line soon?
I see Translink on the front page of The Province newspaper today!
Lucas and Paola: That’s fantastic. Glad you had a good time and it was lovely to meet you too!
Reva: Ah — sorry we missed you! Yes indeed, there will be a 25th anniversary celebration for SkyTrain. No details on that yet!
