Welcome to UBC's biggest student party of the year - Arts County Fair (aka ACF). ACF is a day of beer, concerts, beer, DJ's and more beer. It is what many students look forward to all year long - the last day of classes! Or the last chance of the school year to not attend class. Either way you look at it, it is a lot of fun.

Coming off a spectacular 4-1 win against the powerhouse Detroit Red Wings, the Vancouver Canucks look to extend their post-Christmas success against the struggling Edmonton Oilers.

The Canucks, trying to increase their slim lead ...

If you are thinking of attending a Canucks game this season, perhaps Saturday night is the one for you.

With 11 games left in the regular season, the Vancouver Canucks look like their playoff hopes are sealed. The difference between where the Canucks currently sit (first in the Northwest Division) and the playoff cut is a whopping fourteen points.

Let's put this into perspective, shall we?

In a previous blog, I mentioned the Celtic Festival.  It's Vancouver's way of celebrating St. Patrick's Day and the Irish culture.
