“With each leaf of shamrock  a wish is sent your way,
good health, good luck, and happiness for today and every day.”

Saint Patrick’s Day – March 17th 2012

St. Patrick  is said to have been born in Britain in the 4th Century, a member of a Romano-British religious family. Kidnapped and brought to Ireland by raiders, he escaped six years later and returned to his family. After becoming a priest and later a bishop he returned to Ireland and spent the next thirty years of his life promoting and spreading Christianity, using the lowly plant as a symbol. St. Patrick’s Day has been recognized as a feast day in Ireland since the 9th century & an official holiday since 1903.

The Irish diaspora consists of over eighty million people who have ancestry relating back to Ireland, immigrants, children of immigrants and so forth.   In 1845 the hardship of the great famine caused  an enormous number of people to leave their native island and travel far bringing with them their sense of good fun and dedication. It makes sense that St. Patrick’s day is one of the most celebrated saints’ days.

In Canada St. Patrick’s day is widely celebrated with parades dating back to 1824 in Montreal. These parades continue to this day being held in all major Canadian cities. In Newfoundland and Labrador it is a provincial holiday. This is holiday that represents Irish culture, religion & history. On the day many attend church services and the wearing of the colour green is considered a sign of good luck. Fans of the NHL may be surprised to know the Toronto Maple Leafs were once known as the Toronto Shamrocks. One does not have to be Irish or religious  to take part in the day; simply being an admirer of Irish culture of song and dance and literature  is good enough. Festivals, pub and club outings are common as are small get together with friends where Irish food and drink is enjoyed. If you are looking for a safe way to get around during the festivities you may want to consider pre-booking your own exclusive Saint Patrick’s Day limousine. We recommend making arrangements well ahead of time to guarantee availability.

Upcoming events in Vancouver include the 8th Annual St. Patrick’s Day parade which will take place on Sunday March 18th starting at 11am. Over 300,000 people are expected to turn out for this event in downtown Vancouver which will include over two thousand participants. Celtic Fest will take place between March 10th- and 18th at venues including but not limited to the Edgewater Casino & Pacific Centre. Some pubs in Vancouver that celebrate this day include the Blarney Stone, Ceili’s, Doolin’s, Darby’s & The Irish Heather . We hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day,

As we enter November 2011, some will appreciate a memorable year, while others will eagerly look forward to 2012. But we have a Festive Season to light up our lives in between.  Now is the time to think about arranging safe transportation for events like work and family winter celebrations.  Weather forecasters  predict this to be one of the coldest winters the Lower Mainland will experience in  twenty years. Avoid treacherous weather, icy road conditions, road blocks, and enjoy safe and reliable transportation to and from your special events. Anyone on the road should know that one drink is too many drinks when driving. Fortunately zero tolerance policies towards alcohol are decreasing the amount of accidents in our province. However many people continue to ignore the rules and the results can be devastating. Make the right choice by arranging a designated driver, and if you do not have one use a bus, taxi, limousine or sky train it.

Premium limousine service is available for you. Whether you have an office function to plan, a shopping tour, a special night out with your loved ones at one of the city’s hotspots, a Christmas lights tour, theater or sporting event to travel to, now is the time to make arrangements.  For those looking for New Years limousine service we recommend booking as soon as possible as it’s a day that gets quickly booked out. For any event it is best to plan ahead to guarantee availability and to ensure that you get the type of limousine that suits your groups’ needs. Leaving it to the last minute or trying to find a high quality limousine service on the day is not the way to go. We have found that clients are more at ease when they have everything pre-booked (often weeks or months ahead of time), understand the process and do not need to worry about the small details, leave them all to us.

An exceptional winter getaway is Whistler, one of the most on demand resort towns in the world. If you love skiing, snowboarding, or simply want to enjoy the sights and sounds of beautiful Whistler, there are a multitude of benefits to pre-booking your own exclusive limousine to get you there in absolute comfort & style.  We welcome the opportunity to provide you with outstanding limousine service and wish you and yours all the best.
