March Events in Metro Vancouver 2012

We have to wait a little longer for March this year, with a bonus leap day in February, but it will be well worth it. From events surrounding International Women’s Day to CelticFest Vancouver, there will be plenty to do around town . I will also have a round-up next week listing some of my favourite places to visit with family so that you can plan your local spring break activities.
