Happy Mother’s Day for all the Mom’s celebrating this weekend. When my kids were little, my favourite Mother’s Day activity was a picnic at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. If you haven’t made plans for the weekend yet, there are lots of fun events and activities you could attend with or without your Mom – Vancouver Opera’s HMS Pinafore, Canadians Baseball at Nat Bailey Stadium, Art Vancouver at the Convention Centre and Hastings Racecourse re-opening.
