World-class instructors will guide you through exclusive daily practices while you transform your life:
Kathryn Bruni-Young: Kathryn, 30, has been offering online yoga sessions that focus on mindful strength and mobility for five years. She teaches her own hybrid style of practice that blends pilates, strength, functional movement and yoga. Kathryn completed her first training and began teaching at age 16, and has only looked forward since then. Her mom, Diane Bruni, opened one of Canada’s first yoga studios. Kathryn’s strength & mobility practice is accessible for all and done in a mindful way.
Jane Loney, not a day over 56, has been a mind and body instructor for most of her adult life. A soulful personality, who teaches out of Oceanside Yoga on Vancouver Island, Jane’s goal is to rebalance our overloaded nervous systems while guiding students on a journey within that will include stress-free yoga and mindfulness practice. She will challenge you to “stop and listen” – understanding that we are influenced by what’s happening around us – and if we are stressed on the outside, our insides will be stressed as well.
The practice schedule will alternate with themes that focus one day on the body and movement while the next will focus primarily on the mind.
Access to an exclusive private Facebook group where you can connect with your instructors and challenge-mates, access supporting materials, freebies and fun surprises along the way
The legacy of self-practice, be left with mind and body teachings and technologies that can live with you for a lifetime.

Crowded clubs, concerts in the heart of Downtown, and a talented mix of local and international acts ripping up stages over two weeks — all things that can no longer occur in the foreseeable future. Following the news from Bard on the Beach and Theatre Under the Stars, another summer staple in Vancouver won’t be on our calendars this year as the 2020 TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival is cancelled.
TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival is Cancelled
2019 Vancouver International Jazz Festival – Downtown Jazz
From the festival: “Our team has been working non-stop to consider how we might be able to present a Festival in 2020, but over the past month, as the COVID-19 crisis has accelerated, it has become clear that it won’t be possible to do so in a safe manner. With the support and advice of our board, we have made the hugely disappointing decision to cancel this year’s Festival. We are saddened to make this announcement, but we believe it is the right and responsible thing to do in order to protect our patrons, artists, staff, and community.”
If you have purchased a ticket to any shows that were on sale, they will be in touch with instructions on how to receive a refund or how to donate the cost of your ticket to Coastal Jazz & Blues Society.
FAQs regarding the Festival can be found at online here. Follow along on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to get the latest updates from the Vancouver International Jazz Festival #VanJazzFest.
For the first time ever, I did not create an events list or weekend events lists for Metro Vancouver between the end of March and beginning of April. As we’ve all had some time to adjust to the new reality of COVID-19 isolation, so many businesses and individuals have come together in creative ways to keep us all entertained. Thanks to their efforts, I may now present you the unprecedented VIRTUAL April event list for Metro Vancouver!
NOTE: The Government of BC recommends that you stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic except for essential errands. For example:
Go to the grocery store only once a week
Send one household member on errands to reduce the number of potential exposures
Exercise at home or stay at least 2 metres from other people if you go for a walk in your neighbourhood
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been able to do a weekend event list for Metro Vancouver but thanks to hard-working and creative folks, I can present a lineup of things to enjoy online!

My friends and family are heading into our 4th week of virtual Friday night gatherings online, as is the norm during in the COVID-19 pandemic. Since we’re not going out, companies finding creative ways to support local businesses. Molson Canadian’s Virtual Happy Hour contest aims to support your favourite local restaurant, and reward you in the process.
Molson Canadian’s Virtual Happy Hour
Molson is inviting people to connect over a #VirtualHappyHour and rewards hosts with a $25 gift card for use at their favourite local bar or restaurant.
How it Works
Get your friends together over a Virtual Happy Hour and raise a beer. Not just Molson beer, any beer.
Share a screenshot or video of you and your friends with #VirtualHappyHour and tag your favourite local restaurant or bar, as well as Molson Canadian on your Instagram page, or @Molson_Canadian on Twitter.
Molson will buy you a $25 gift card for use at the local restaurant or bar you tagged. Now you can help support your favourite local hangout when it needs it most, and have a great reason to go back when you can.
“For now, while we can’t raise one at our favourite local spot, we can raise one for it, and with the promise of an IRL meet-up to come,” says Joy Ghosh, NA Marketing Director, Molson Family of Brands. “Supporting local businesses – in the good times, and the not so good times – is part of John Molson’s legacy as one of Canada’s first entrepreneurs.”
The program runs until April 30, 2020 or while supplies last (whichever comes first). Rules on how to participate are available on the website. Follow @MolsonCanadian on Instagram and @Molson_Canadian on Twitter to see #VirtualHappyHour being featured from coast to coast.
