The 9th Annual International Performing Arts Festival of Vancouver, known simply as the Push Festival is underway. Last night I attended the Opening Gala that was hosted by CTV’s Mi-Jung Lee and Dan Mangan.
The party started by some opening speeches, which included the festival’s Executive Director Norman Armour with his ‘smile’ speech, along with the Mayor of the City of Vancouver.
