'Caps fan honours late grandfather with Unity jersey: 'This opportunity means the world to my family'

Earlier this month, Vancouver Whitecaps FC unveiled a new steel grey "Unity Jersey," a nod to the Ironworkers of British Columbia who have built and bridged our communities. And, as you can see below, one 'Caps fan took this opportunity to honour her late grandfather, who passed away from a workplace accident while helping to build Vancouver's skyline.

Billie said the above photo was taken from the corner where her grandfather passed away.

Metro Vancouver is connected by more than 20 bridges throughout the Lower Mainland, linking Richmond, the Fraser Valley, North and West Vancouver, and every community in between.
