Last weekend, around 20 Vanderhoof residents took part in Holi, a Hindu spring festival that is known as the festival of colours, or the festival of love.
The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, but also acts as a celebratory day in which friends and family meet others, socialize, forgive and forget an repair broken relationships.
The festival, which is primarily celebrated in India and Nepal, has quickly spread to other areas of the world over the years. Whether it is celebrated in Indian subcontinent diaspora like Jamaica or Malaysia and the United Kingdom, the festival was cerebrated for the first time in history in Vanderhoof.
But what do the colours truly mean?
Although the origin of covering your friends and family with all sorts of bright and festive colours has never been truly found, one interpretation of the festival of colours states that by colouring something, it gives it life.
With Holi celebrations dating back centuries, the locals who took part in the celebration made sure that it was a day that they would never forget.
