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:

Environment Canada is calling for more warm, sunny weather Sunday and Monday, so expect Vancouverites to be out in droves again for the rest of the weekend.
