Suburbs

Steveston Harbour in Richmond. Fish n’ Chips anyone?

Last week we found the most accurate map of Vancouver. While most people dismissed it as a joke, as most over simplifications are, others took the map a little too seriously. These people are obviously not fans of Chris Rock’s brand of comedy. As a born and raised Vancouverite, having lived in East Van, South Van and now currently settled downtown, I found the map hilarious and true, with some omissions of course.

This week the suburbs have their own map. Yes, we did not forget about you. The maps below have been enlarged for your viewing pleasure. They’re pretty funny, just look past the few spelling mistakes.

While many of us choose to (or have to due to condo bylaws) buy plastic trees from the department store, others still prefer to buy the real deal. Here is a list of locations in Metro Vancouver where you can buy a real Christmas Tree.

Canyon Lights opens this Friday evening at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park with the biggest and brightest holiday light display to date.

CLIFFWALK, the park’s latest attraction and a hit with guests since it opened in June, brings an exciting new holiday thrill during the winter chill. The narrow 700-foot cliff-side walkway, split into ascending and descending staircases and viewing platforms takes guests along the colour-washed cliff-face, through an enchanting light display high above the rushing waters of Capilano River.

The VCB team was very impressed walking into the Grand Villa Casino and Delta Hotel last weekend. Not only was the staff extremely friendly and welcoming, the hotel and casino were stunning, nestled in an unfrequented part of Burnaby near BCIT.
