I know whenever I include a rainy photo in my ‘Things to do in Vancouver This Weekend’ post it ends up being a gloriously sunny few days. Here’s hoping! But who am I kidding, I love the rain as well. There are just a few events this weekend, before we get updates on the next step in BC’s restart plan, but they’re really fun options if you want entertainment at home or something to do outside.:
