On Monday you can hit the beaches, try out a Day Trip, visit a local park, or rest up that sunburn. The Province put together a nice roundup and Vancouver is Awesome has event listings under their newest feature, The Paste Up.

Should you have any events in August that you would like listed (there’s never a charge) please feel free to send the info my way.
