In British Columbia, the westernmost province of Canada, the bonfire night celebration has been grafted onto Halloween instead, and the evening of October 31st is filled with the same echoing of explosions and fireworks that you would experience in a city in England on Nov 5th.
- ficklepickle 9y agoI'm in Vancouver. I went onto the roof of my apartment building on Halloween and watched all the fireworks going off everywhere. It was awesome! I never considered the similarities with Guy Fawkes day. Very interesting!
- handojin 9y agoThe bonfires are Irish and were always lit on Halloween (Samhain). Fireworks from our American cousins by way of our American Chinese cousins I'd guess...
