What To Do In Vancouver This Weekend Onward

It’s already been a busy September and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down yet. Husband Michael is busy with UBC going back to school with all the sports venues back in full swing and the food trucks more active again, and I’ve been devoting myself to getting back to working out and generally being more organized. How’s your September Going? This weekend there’s a ton to do and it doesn’t slow down at all as September moves along. Here’s a few things to keep you active this week.
