July Events in Metro Vancouver 2012

Comments 4 by Rebecca Bollwitt

We didn’t see much sunshine in June but there have been a few glorious days so far this summer. I’m still fixated on the belief that the rain leads to even greener grass and floral blooms on those sparkling sunny days. Whether you’re staying around town or heading up the Sea to Sky, I have you covered with the following event listings. These have been submitted by readers and the list is always updated throughout the month so be sure to bookmark this post.

    Thanks Rebecca for that listing! Thanks for the link also for the Vancouver Heritage Photo Contest, I’ll send them pictures of L’ESPACE that was our place under the Granville Bridge; I saw the City is planning to demolish that building and the one just beside…it was the first Versatile Shipyard administrative offices & the first veterinarian clinic, it’s very sad to see them both being demolished…see http://www.bridgetownproject.com (as it was in 2003-2006). Merci!
