Insights into the local Vancouver Area.


Celebrating the Spectacular Seasons of Vancouver

Watching the maple leaves turn vibrantly red and gold, witnessing a profusion of pretty pink cherry blossoms, waking up to the first dusting of snow or walking carefree while barefoot on the beach in shorts and sunnies: who doesn’t want to live in or visit a city with four distinct seasons?

Fun Family Bike Ride Around English Bay & Stanley Park

During the cold, wet winter months, most family activities tend to be limited to indoor pursuits but on those rare occasions when the sun finally pops out, it’s time to capitalize on the weather: why not pack up the kids and embark on a fun-filled bike ride to enjoy the scenic vistas along English Bay and Stanley Park!

Late Autumn Adventures in Vancouver’s West End

Despite the blustery west coast weather that Vancouver typically receives in the late autumn and early winter season, this does not deter locals or visitors from visiting the iconic English Bay, a captivating ocean side with one of the most panoramic vistas of the city. It’s virtually jam-packed with people for the popular New Years Day Polar Bear Swim as well as for the internationally acclaimed Celebration of Light fireworks festival in the summer, but during the late fall/early winter when English Bay in the West End neighbourhood is less crowded does it become an interesting area that is truly worthwhile to investigate.

Seabus Ride to Shipyards Night Market

One of the most happening events in North Vancouver for three months in the weekends of summer is at Shipyards Market right on the water where an assembly of food trucks, local artisans, diverse performers & musicians as well as hipsters congregate for a fabulous evening of fun.

Spend a Summer Day at Whistler
