Giving Back – The iconic Gastown Steamclock is a staple visit and photo op for tourists, locals and is featured on all our tours throughout the year. The Steamclock designer and builder, Raymond Saunders, took a fall from another clock this past September that caused severe injuries. To show our Gray Line Westcoast Sightseeing support to Mr. Saunders on his journey to recovery, we will be making a donation for every guest that books the Karaoke Christmas Lights Trolley Tour to his GoFundMe to help with his recovery!!
