Currently floating between memories of Katie Tupper’s gorgeous show at Fortune and daydreams about the upcoming festival season (Bass Coast, anyone?). But before I drift off completely…

Today we’re introducing a new segment: The Local’s List (scroll down for some local wisdom). Each Friday we’ll feature a local’s perspective on the best ways to enjoy the city from favourite bands, hidden gems or the best places to get naked in Vancouver. Nothing is off the table. Want to be featured? Drop us a line in this google form!
