Looking ahead to 2018, I thought it would be fun to look back 100 years to catch a glimpse of Vancouver in 1918, thanks to the City of Vancouver Archives.

Minnekhada Park

Go for a Hike
Zip in to Coquitlam by SkyTrain and within minutes you can be trekking through old-growth forest with incredible scenery.

If you’re looking for a challenging experience with steep terrain in a dense forest setting, with great views, try the Ridge Park Trails on Westwood Plateau. The trails, totalling approximately 23 km, can be accessed from a number of locations including Parkway Blvd. and Hampton Park. To get here, hop on a bus from Coquitlam Central SkyTrain Station. Click here for the PDF schedule »

Another top hiking location is the 200-hectare Minnekhada Regional Park. Beginners can stick to a flat path meandering through the wetland into the forest, while the more adventurous can tackle the uphill climb to the High Knoll lookout (allow yourself at least 2 ½ hours round-trip). If you want to take transit, car share options (Modo and Zipcar) are available at Lafarge Lake-Douglas SkyTrain station. Continue reading this post ⟩⟩

The new year is here and so are plenty of events, attractions, shows, and family activities. This is also the last weekend to check out some great holiday light displays before they wrap up again for the year.
