A beautiful Vancouver spring weekend is in the forecast and we are lucky in Vancouver there are so many parks, beaches, seawalls, hikes to go explore. There are also some really fun sounding events to attend – it is really amazing to see how creative and collaborative these events are. Talking about collaboration, have you heard about the Granville Island and Lee’s Donut Peach Sour Sampler Shop opening this weekend – a free event to support the Vancouver Food Bank. You need to reserve your free tickets and I have mine (but not until next weekend!). Spot Prawn Festival presented by the Chef Table Society and the Pacific Prawn Fishermen’s Association is back – one of my favourites since it is not only delicious, it also showcases our sustainable BC Spot Prawns (yea Ocean Wise!).
