In April I did three candidate interviews in one day, covering Vancouver West-End and Vancouver-Hastings and I thought those would be my last. Three more interviews later and I’m falling behind on content, as expected. I was however able to meet up with Mary McNeil, the BC Liberal candidate for Vancouver False-Creek so here are […]

Today kicks off Bike to Work Week in BC as people are being encouraged to leave their cars at home for their commute and when they head to the polls to vote.

I discovered a new iPhone app today called Mo Discovers: Stanley Park and as I spend much time trekking through Stanley Park’s trails, slipping in its mud, photographing its natural beauty and have blogged about it for the last five years so, I figured this application was worth a download. The Mo Discovers: Stanley Park […]

BC Youth Week took place over the last few days (May 1-7) however there are still a few events happening this weekend that will be fun for the whole family. Playland Extravaganza – Yes, Playland is open and today hosts special events for youth with a discounted day pass that you can get from various […]

Proprietor Genevieve Allen travels the world several times a year to […]

When Google launched Cities in 3D I asked readers what their favourite buildings were in Vancouver. Answers included the Marine Building and the Dominion Building, and since that time I’ve wanted to do a roundup of these historical pieces of Vancouver’s past. As there are actually too many to list (unless you read about them […]

Last night I grabbed Keira-Anne and headed to the Red Cross Red Carpet Soiree. I held a contest on my site and I ran into the winner of my tickets, Lesley Chang, along with Karen from TinyBites, Paulo from istyleu, Melissa from FiveCorners604, Cathy Browne, and Chris Freimond of the IABC (where I gave my […]

Quick preface… For those just starting out on Twitter and who looking for followers, the advice I usually give is to just start following interesting people. This is exactly what happened yesterday when I noticed an email come in telling me that @DreamDressEvent was now following me on Twitter. Because of this notification on their […]

On Friday, Tourism Vancouver (@MyVancouver on Twitter) arranged a scenic flight for a select group of bloggers which saw us soar high above the region in a WestCoast Air float plane.
