Our third official heat wave of the summer is upon us and there is lots to do in and around Vancouver, so as well as spending time at one of our fabulous beaches or cooling off in the mountains there are also lots of fun events like the Just off Main Festival, Carnival del Sol and Festival Afloat. There is also the highly anticipated re-opening of the Vancouver Aquarium – Monday is the official public re-opening or if you are a member like me, there is members only “sneak peak” this weekend.
