I’ve been counting down to today’s Local List for weeks. Kaitlyn Sahay (the force behind Accessibility & The City) shares all her favourite accessible spots around Vancouver, plus a bit of her story - and yeah, it hits. I've found myself crying (happy tears) multiple times while reading Kaitlyn's words and relaying them to our site and socials. No scrolling allowed - this is required reading, okay?!

Sorry I got a little angry there. Maybe I need to go scream into the void for a bit. Conveniently… Enter Shikari is coming to town. We’ve got a pair of tickets up for grabs for one lucky winner. Catch them on their North American tour with Initiate at The Pearl.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• How many times do you see a world tour that skips Vancouver? Well not this time! Olivia Rodrigo plays Rogers Arena on 12/1 & 12/2. Tickets go on sale next Thursday.

• You, your besties, an unreasonably sized hotdog and Canadians Baseball = the perfect Spring date. Enter to win 4 tickets to see Canadians Baseball -PLUS the winner gets to throw the ceremonial opening pitch!*

• Did you know you can get $30 tickets to Bard On The Beach if you choose their preview days? See Shakespeare with a twist before anyone else does.
