The WTS and a link fest? Combining two of my patented blog features? Yes, daring I know.

A report about crime in Canada’s cities came out a while ago and I’ve been meaning to address it. Getting around to it now I hope that some way, some how, this quashes some fears folks have about traveling out of downtown, Vancouver, and dare I say… over the Fraser River.
Earlier this year Canada’s 10 [...]

This morning I was reminded on Keira’s post about BC150, the celebration around the Province in honor of its 150th birthday. A big part of the festivities includes the dedication of Spirit Squares.
These squares will celebrate our heritage and achievements – past, present and future – and leave a legacy for current and future generations [...]

Our local green-powered, transit, political, and Metro Vancouver whiz kid Paul Hillsdon has just launched a new fully Surrey-centric website.

For a while I felt as though my blog was steering too far into posts on Surrey. I mean, obviously it’s something I feel is important to write about as it is my home city. However, [...]

As previously announced, Winterfest is happening this Saturday from 12:00pm to 10:00pm at Central City plaza in Surrey (just across from the Surrey Central Skytrain). Outdoor skating rink, live concerts, food vendors, hockey challenge, and Guitar Hero are just some of the activities. A schedule and event map have been released so here are [...]

Canada’s Cultural Capital for 2008 will be kicking off an entire week of winter-related festivities starting tomorrow. As previously noted, Winterfest will be taking place on Saturday but there are many events throughout the week that the entire family can enjoy, either for free or at low-cost.

On Saturday, February 9th from 12:00pm to 10:00pm Canada’s Cultural Capital City for 2008 will be the place to be, giving all you Surreyites, New Westers, Burnabyians, Vancouverites, Richmonders, [...]

Update: December 17th, 2008 – In honor of the deep-freeze in Vancouver right now I’ve promoted this post from January 15, 2008 to the front page of the site.
I think I’m pretty lucky to have grown up on the West Coast during a time when rivers and streams would actually freeze over in the winter. [...]

Since I had a dream last night that I went to my 10 year high school reunion (which is coming up this spring), this morning’s link fest is dedicated to Surrey… and this morning’s WTS is a link fest.

John and I once purchased an Ikea table for $10 off Craigslist. Without having a car we made sure it was ready for pickup within close proximity to our house. We walked about 4 blocks, checked it out, then carted it home – only one lamppost was harmed during this exercise, but it was worth [...]
