Secret Vancouver: Unlocking the Past is a series of short documentaries that gives us a look into lesser known histories in Vancouver, and talks to the people who know them best. Directed by Mia Jagal, this TELUS Original series lets us into the Vancouver Archives and the creation of our history as a city.
Secret Vancouver: Unlocking the Past
Tucked away in Kitsilano the nondescript building is one of Vancouver’s greatest treasures. The Vancouver Archives is choc-o-block full of documents and artefacts that tell the rich and complicated story of Vancouver’s history. It is all thanks to Major Matthews, a local and controversial private citizen who decided to start a personal collection of all things Vancouver almost 100 years ago. The massive undertaking provided the foundation of what is now The Vancouver Archives.
Unlocking the Past is part of Secret Vancouver goes into the little seen vaults of one of Canada’s best archives, and investigates some of Matthew’s odd methods that often got him in trouble with the city’s politicians.

Where to Eat and Drink in Kelowna
As a freelance writer, I got the best magazine assignment ever this past summer: Eating and drinking my way through the Okanagan, with a focus on wine and cheese. Thank God for pants with elastics.
Along the way, I got to sample some restaurants outside of my cheesy-mission, too, thanks to hanging with my aunt and uncle in Kelowna for a couple weeks. It being “the Summer of Smoke” hampered my explorations some, but I still made it out to a few great places before I hit the Bottleneck Drive to the South Okanagan.
Here are a few foodie experiences I noshed on in Kelowna.
Breakfast:The Bohemian Cafe
Those of us who tap into the vibe of a place can read the staff and know, before we sit down, if the food’s any good. That’s vibe is electric at Kelowna’s beloved “Boh,” the kinda place where they make their own bread, jam, and even their own Canadian/back bacon. I excel in brunch snobbery and consider an Eggs Benny the big test for any brunch hotspot, because Hollandaise ain’t rocket science, but you’d think it was. The “Boh Benny” had everything a good Benny should: real Hollandaise with a good butter/citrus balance, great (housemade!) bacon, fresh English muffin, tasty shredded hash browns. Nothing pretentious here, just good food made honestly. Continue reading this post ⟩⟩
