Watching Pacific salmon
fight their way up the
mighty Adams River is
already popcorn-worthy,
but Uninterrupted (page
68) brings it to new
heights: the underside of
the Cambie Street Bridge.
Beginning Jun. 28 and
running all summer long,
this 30-minute film pro-
jection appears after dusk,
and captivates onlook-
ers with a wild salmon
migration that covers the
near-half-mile (0.8-km)
surface of the bridge.
Head to Coopers’ Park on
the bridge’s north side to
catch the spectacle. Our
review? Two thumbs up.
