June Events in Metro Vancouver

My usual June events in Metro Vancouver banner features the crows at Hats Off Day in Burnaby, which is traditionally on the first Saturday in June. As a media sponsor of that event for the last few years, I will really miss that community event, which kicked off the summer season for many. While we can’t have 100,000 people eating ice cream and enjoying music along Hastings in Burnaby, the province is opening up gradually as we continue through Phase 2. With that in mind, this month’s event list combines online/virtual events and in-person activities.
