Now that December is here there is no avoiding the Holiday Festivities and what better way to start the season with one of the many events in and around Vancouver this weekend -from Candyland in Yaletown, Gingerbread Lane and Dundarave Festival of Lights. The City of Vancouver doesn’t have a Santa Claus parade this year but Maple Ridge, Chilliwack and Surrey all do. Bright Skies at Canada Place is a new event Sat/Sun nights that is worth checking out.
Have a great start to December.
