Celebration of Light Finale

Aug 9, 2003

By Catherine Barr

 

An estimated 350,000 people took in the final night of the Celebration of Light fireworks in English Bay last weekend. And while it's easy to see what's going on in the sky, you don't always get to see what goes on behind the scenes. Check out some of the judges, the VIP faces and technicians that make things happen behind the scenes.
