Over the past decade, Surrey's Canada Day party in Cloverdale has featured free concerts by the likes of Colin James (in 2005, with Sue Foley and others), Tom Cochrane (in 2006, with Chilliwack), April Wine and Kim Mitchell (2007, also with Wide Mouth Mason), Loverboy and The Payolas (2008), 54-40 and Bif Naked (2009), Honeymoon Suite and The Odds (2010) and Trooper (2011, with Harlequin).
Since 2006, all that Can-Con talent has been photographed by Rick Chapman, who takes his camera to a wide range of events as part of his marketing and special projects duties for the City of Surrey.
This page of photos originally appeared in the Now in 2012 as part of our annual salute to Canada Day.
