At the end of Mary Poppins, Mr. Banks realizes that he should be less of a committed capitalist and more of a devoted family man, taking a loving instead of investing interest in his progeny. How to heal the wounds of a neglected family? Fix an old kite and go out to the park. In high winds, the Banks family flies kites – faces uplifted towards a heavenly future at home.
So how fitting that on this Father’s Day weekend, you can head out to Vanier Park for the Pacific Rim Kite Festival! They have all kinds of events but really the cool part is being able to watch master kite flyers in action, wielding their graceful ripstop monsters in the sky for everyone to see. 10am-5pm Today and Tomorrow.
