BC Place made a few big announcements today, including that they are now the first stadium in Canada to launch a reusable cup program, they have a new Indigenous-focused concession item, and they're piloting a self-serve alcohol concession.

Registration is open for BCLC's 2nd annual Indigenous Vendor showcase. If you are an Indigenous-owned business or a buyer in the region, check out details of the event linked here. (My sister is awesome and she's the one who started this initiative with her team!)

Rare artifacts dating back potentially thousands of years have been found in a Fraser Valley thrift store and donated to Simon Fraser University for study. @sfuarchaeology.bsky.social @sfu.ca

Godwin Farm Biodiversity Preserve Park 🍂 The park was acquired in 2015 through the Federal Eco-gifting program. The Godwin Family donated this land to the City #SurreyBC to protect it in perpetuity. Over the years, they planted hundreds of sequoia, redwood, and fir trees + many other species.

A few hundred things to do around Vancouver in October…

Another one of my favourite corners of the Seawall in #Vancouver (yes I have many). This is just after you round the corner at Brockton Point Lighthouse. Most days, the water is emerald green, reflecting the forest around it. [📸 #Throwback October 2024]

The weekend event list for Metro Vancouver

Saturday in Chinatown, it's the Fire Dragon Festival. Follow the dragon at night as it twists and turns to the beat of drums through historic Vancouver streets.

I've been fighting COVID this week. My first time getting it after successfully dodging it for 5 years. Last night to help me fall asleep @johnbollwitt.com recommended I put on a Knowledge Network show. I chose "The World's Most Scenic Railway Journeys" which backfired cause it was too captivating 😍

Bright Nights has found a new home and can continue to raise funds for the Burn Fund. It will be folded into the Noel Festival in Surrey at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds which is not free or by-donation, but ticketed. However, they'll donate partial ticket proceeds to the cause.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation events - on September 30th (Orange Shirt Day) and before - as well as resources:

The Vancouver Park Board approved the ‘Stanley Park Mobility Study’ this week which includes a preliminary measure that directs staff to work with TransLink to plan and implement a new bus route in the park.

September seventeen For a girl I know it's Mother's Day Her son has gone alee And that's where he will stay Wind on the weathervane Tearing blue eyes sailor-mean As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain For a boy in Fiddler's Green - @thetragicallyhip.bsky.social

The next Early Bird Draw in the Canuck Place Children's Hospice 50/50 raffle and prize draw is coming up tomorrow. Your ticket purchase helps provide exceptional care for children with life-threatening illnesses and the families who love them across BC and the Yukon.

True story: I walked around Rocky Point Park in Port Moody for the first time in my life this past March. Their Shoreline Trail Boardwalk reopened this morning so I can now use one of my own photos from my visit in this post 😀👍
