Get ready for one of the first long weekends of the summer and clear your schedule for plenty of reasons to get outside and kick back around the city. Check out the latest performance courtesy of Cirque du Soleil, make your way to Whistler, feast around Tofino or check out a local night market all before work creeps up again Tuesday morning

We’ve ditched the sometimes-depressing month of January in order to bask in the romantic month of February. Literally every scene except the weather is heating up this month: music, food, art, and of course a little thing we like to call “the weekend”

We made it, Vancouver; as of this Sunday, January will finally be behind us. We just need one more big weekend ending with one big game, and it’s on to the romantic (and shortest) month of February. That big weekend starts now

Well, we’re halfway through the month-long hangover known as January. Luckily, there’s a glorious mini-vacation that starts tonight. Perhaps you’ve heard of it; it’s called ‘The Weekend’. Time to get ready, Vancouver, the next four days are all that can keep the mid-winter blues at bay

There’s no two ways about it now, Vancouver; you’re in 2015. So while you might still be licking your holiday wounds and dragging your heavy heels into a new year of professional responsibilities, the weekend waits for no one. In fact, yours starts right now
