Vancouverites revel in sunny start to May long weekend
Warm weather gets Vancouverites out and about after long, cold winter
It's been a long, wet winter in Vancouver, but you wouldn't have known it on Saturday.
Vancouverites made the most of the spectacular weather — which coincided perfectly with the start of the Victoria Day weekend — to get outside.
And, of course, plenty of it was posted on Twitter.
Some took the opportunity to take some glamour shots of the city:
