Yea. Was recently down at the Semiahmoo resort in Blaine and looked back across the border towards White Rock and saw the ugly recently constructed 'sky scraper' condo towers built for the rich. That which made White Rock nice is quickly fading.
@@BenDover-wk1bs There's a '54 Chev. convertible in the parade. In those days new models began selling in the autumn of the previous year, so this could not have been filmed in the summer of '53 since no '54's would have arrived at the dealerships. Looking at the clothing, it was probably the summer of '54 or '55.
People along the hillside use to whine and complain about all the people and noise coming from the beach, then city decided to get rid of sand castle building, then put in pay parking.. then people of white rock wonder why no one comes to marine drive and the beach anymore. I know I don't waste my time going to the pier anymore👎
I hope this video could one day be restored so cool !
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO, WHITE ROCK,LIKE ALL CANADA IS THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE
That was pretty cool. I love it here, but there was a certain magic back then that seems to be missing these days. Thanks for posting the video.

Oh I love this I grew up there
Thank you! This is gold!
what year was this movie taken? I remember one time when I was very young being taken to a parade at Peace Arch.
Looks like the early 1950's.

Maybe you should, cuz it’s almost always busy now. And exciting marine life, new facilities etc! But nah, stay away. Curmudgeon.

Getting rid of Sandcastle day was the Worst thing that ever happened to White Rock.
