WARNING: There has been a pirate sighting in Stanley Park.

Apparently visitors riding the annual ‘Ghost Train' not only spotted these heathen sea bullies, but they were spooked by the sword fighting, rum guzzling, blood thirsty lot!

  Every year around Halloween Stanley Park hosts a haunted outdoor event such as ...

1. Granville Island

Granville Island's unique shopping and arts destination is a perfect place to spend the day or half day come rain or shine. You can do a walking tour that focuses on culinary indulgences or learn about the area’s history and architecture ...

Contrary to any images conjured by the name, Tea Swamp Park is no wetland. It is a beautiful, peaceful little park that doesn't see a lot of traffic, and it's perfect that way.

There are beautiful trees, beds upon beds of flowers, and peaceful benches. Locals like to sit on the benches and just take it all in.

Tea Swamp also has a small playground, and there are ...

Nestled in between Main and Cambie, along sixteenth avenue, Mount Pleasant Park offers a playground, monkey bars, and a community center with a pool.

The swimming pool is outdoor, so is only open during the summer months (when the city workers are not on strike, that is). It's a small pool, with grassed areas inside the fencing. It makes a nice ...

I simply love kayaking. I'm not a strong swimmer, but don't mind strapping myself into a slim fiberglass shell and paddling my way across the water. Strange, I know. But if you experience what I did last weekend at Deep Cove, you may understand.

It was a busy Saturday, so we were lucky we reserved our kayak. We took the double-kayak out of the Deep Cove launch and headed across the open ...

Anyone who has ever watched The Simpson's will appreciate seeing a real live Kwik-E-Mart right here in the lower mainland.

Yes it's true, you can buy pink donuts, just like on the show, and they temporarily renamed their Slurpees 'Squishees' just like on the show.

Why, you ask? It's part of a marketing campaign for the new Simpson's Movie. The movie is set to open on July 27, so ...

Vancouver is renowned for being a lush, green city. With the kids out of school, and tourist season kicking into full gear (if you doubt me, just hit Robson street on a Saturday afternoon), I thought it would be a good time to do a series on our wonderful parks.

Looking outside today, it's hard to imagine the long sunny days of summer, but I assure you, they are on their ...

Besides all the shopping scene in Vancouver, let us not forget about the Seattle Premium Outlet which is approximately 1 1/2 hour away from here!

When comes to shopping, I am a loner. I like the tactic of 'get-in & get-out'. Therefore, this past Saturday, out of impulse, I drove myself down to the Seattle Premium Outlet. I took out $500 USD and bravely went over to the US custom ...
