Things to do in Vancouver This May Long Weekend

Summer is just around the corner as the May Long Weekend arrives with a few showers to keep us cool, and the promise of clear skies and blissfully sunny days to come. We have farmers markets to enjoy, bike rides, art, theatre, and a festival in Whistler. If I missed anything, be sure to contact me so I can include it. Have a great weekend!
