What’s Good This Week in and around Vancouver<\/h2>\n

It’s a little too hot for me these days in Vancouver and I’ve got the fan blasting in my ear in an attempt to remain coolish. This week you might be catching the fireworks, watching some Improv (I’m actually on stage – yikes), eating some Canadian Food or catching up with BC’s beer scene. Don’t forget to celebrate PRIDE and sample some tasty pride-themed treats!<\/p>\n

Food Day Canada<\/h2>\n

What are you doing on July 30, 2016? We know you always choose a ton of Canadian food products when shopping and dining out, but on this day it’s a must as it’s the official\u00a0Food Day Canada<\/a>. This special day is a chance for Canadians from coast to coast to celebrate our farmers, fishers, chefs, researchers and home cooks, and for us that means local pork will be on the menu.<\/p>\n

On\u00a0West Coast there are many restaurants that you can head to for a special Food Day Canada Menu. Restaurants in Vancouver<\/a> include Burdock, Campagnolo, Bishops, The Fish Counter, West, L\u2019Abattoir, Forage, Royal Dinette, Timber, Cafe Medina, Juniper, Boulevard and more.<\/p>\n

Since I’m the BC and Alberta Pork Ambassador, I’ve sussed out some of the menus where you can sample local pork.<\/p>\n
