Things to do in Vancouver This Weekend December 5-7, 2014
byI was a bit late getting the big December event list posted so I thought I would be ahead of the game and post this weekend’s event list a bit early. There’s so much to see and do in and around Vancouver at this time of year and what I love most is that these activities allow you to spend time with friends and family, which I think is one of the greatest gifts of all.
