Subway is offering up a free breakfast combo as a part of a customer appreciation campaign tomorrow, August 19th.
The offer is valid 7:00am until 10:00am for a ham & cheese egg muffin melt and a coffee.
This is available only at participating restaurants in BC so you may want to call ahead to your local Subway today to confirm before you line up in the morning. No other purchases are necessary in order to get in on this offer.

Grease is coming to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, hot on the heals of Disney’s The Lion King (that broke box-office records for Vancouver and Canada during its run). Grease was Time Magazine’s 2007 pick for “#1 musical of the year” and will be rockin’ its way across the country in this new production, direct from Broadway.
Take a trip to a simpler time of poodle skirts, drive-ins, and T-birds. “Bad boy†Danny and “the girl next door†Sandy fall in love all over again to the tune of your favorite songs: “Summer Nights,†“Greased Lightnin’†and “We Go Together†as well as additional songs from the hit movie: “Grease,†“Hopelessly Devoted to You†and “You’re the One That I Want.â€
Grease will run October 26th until the 31st, and I’m sure will inspire many Halloween costumes (and sing-alongs). This production will be appropriate for all ages and families.

The Crazy Sustainable Commute is for fun as well as promoting alternatives to driving to get from A to B. On August 27th commuters are being asked to find their way to work in a unique and creative way. Suggestions include canoeing, stilt walking, rollerblading, skateboarding, kayak, pogo stick, etc.
“The goal is to inject enthusiasm and obtain exposure to sustainable transportation. We want to get people to rethink the way they get to work!” You can sign up online for the Crazy Sustainable Commute and there will be an after-party at 5:00pm that day in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

BrazilFest comes to Granville this Saturday from 10:00am until 8:00pm on the stretch between Robson and Georgia that is pedestrian-only.
There will be guitar and full band shows, samba dancing, a soccer performance, capoeira, ballet, an art exhibit from Beth Maia, and more. The festival is entirely free and open to the public.
The goal of BrazilFest is not only to celebrate Brazilian culture through a full-day street party but to also raise awareness and funds for the community of Citrolandia, Brazil. You can read more about the campaign, sponsorship or volunteering at BrazilFest via the Vila Isabel Charitable Society.
Ever since Granville Street re-opened it’s become more of a hub than ever for entertaining crowds, watching global sporting events, or learning to salsa or swing dance. The pedestrian-only thoroughfare, at least for a few more weeks, has been hosting everything from busker showcases to an upcoming tennis tournament. Check out RediscoverGranville to learn more.
When the temperatures hit record highs walking through cool forests and jumping into a glacier-fed lake sounds pretty tempting. Golden Ears Provincial Park is a great place to escape the city in summer or winter and as such, it’s my next Park Series feature.
Metrics At 62,540 hectares it’s one of the largest parks in the province.
How to get there The park is 11 km north of Maple Ridge on the north side of the Fraser River. You can get there through Maple Ridge, along Dewdney Trunk Road. View full directions and maps online. It can be a hiking, camping or day-trip/picnic destination on the weekend for Metro Vancouverites.
Features Network of trails for hiking and horseback riding, Alouette Lake for swimming, windsurfing, water-skiing, canoeing (boats for rent during the summer), boating and fishing. Alouette campground, Gold Creek campground, and North Beach campground. Picnic areas, playgrounds, and hot showers in the campgrounds.
History Established in 1927, the park was named after the twin peaks of Mount Blanshard near the peak’s western boundary. The lake and its forested surroundings were also the traditional hunting and fishing grounds for the Douglas-Lillooet (Interior Salish) and Katzie (Coast Salish) First Nations peoples.
Should you have a suggestion for the next Park Series feature (Metro Vancouver or Fraser Valley) please feel free to contact me. I also accept guest posts on this topic.
