Last year we went to a free one day open house event at the North Vancouver Outdoor School. Though slightly rainy, we enjoyed a free day filled with paper making, kayaking, archery, and roasting bannock. All of this at a school campus nestled in the trees; beautiful and peaceful.

This year promises to be a beautiful sunny day, and the event will be even more spectacular.

Then event will ...

The best way to get close and personal with Vancouver’s natural splendor is on a kayak. It’s quite a bit different than a canoe, yet it is safer. One of my first kayaking adventures brought me to Horseshoe Bay where my partner and I glided along the blue waters of the Sea to Sky Highway, all while enjoying the shore’s wildlife ...

You wake up Saturday morning to see the sun shining in a blue sky and you decide to go for a hike. You're not up for anything strenuous or too far away. Pacific Spirit Regional Park near UBC will do the trick.

It's a seeming endless network of trails that can take a half hour to walk or the better part of the day. It's basically a flat walk, so it's a great first ...

When most people think of Cypress Mountain, they think of skiing and snowboarding. But as summer approaches, and the sun finally breaks through the clouds, I suggest heading to Cypress for some hiking.

This past weekend, I took advantage of the half-overcast sky and headed to Cypress Mountain for a two-hour hike to Cypress Falls. With Dawn Hanna's trusty "Best Hikes and Walks of Southwestern B.C." in hand, my boyfriend and ...

If dancing is your thing (or watching other hot things shake their booty) here are a few suggestions; probably the best overall dance club in Vancouver is Celebrities, an old stand by in the heart of the gay community downtown, but nicely renovated after a fire. While Celebrities attracts a lot of queer men and women, lots of straight people frequent the dance floor here as well because the music ...

Put one foot in front of the other, and get yourself down to Celebrities Night Club, where tonight Tiki Glam: A Fashion and Burlesque Show hits the stage!

Sweet Soul unveils its 55-piece spring/summer 2007 collection of fashions inspired by Polynesian Tiki, Hawaiian Beach, and Hollywood Glam styles.  But that's not all, a line-up of burlesque performers will also strut their stuff upon the stage, with noticeably less of the fashion ...

Like many cities, Vancouver's gay scene has a lot of actual venues specifically catering to the gay male population - men still earn more in general and tend to go out more often, thus supporting regular nightclubs and pubs.

There are however, a couple of major event companies that book ongoing lesbian oriented club nights and live music gigs. Check out these links below:

On Monday, April 23rd, the Vancouver Canucks will face the Dallas Stars in an epic battle of Game Seven.

With two chances to eliminate the almighty Stars from Dallas, the Vancouver Canucks are desperate for a win, or simply just to score a goal, as the past two outings for the Canucks have resulted in scoreless hockey.

With what should be an interesting night of hockey, be sure to be in the ...
