Event and Happenings in Vancouver this week<\/h2>\n

Today is supposedly the most depressing day of the year according to news reports and a survey that landed in my inbox. While this may just be “marketing”, this time of year can be tough, and I am sensing this in myself and those around me as this year is particularly dismal outside. Be aware of any serious mood changes, and deal with those with professionals; I can only recommend a few surface fixes.\u00a0This week try\u00a0some different feel-good things, connect with friends, get some exercise, drink or eat\u00a0some chocolate, and fuel up on good food and perhaps some medicinal cocktails.<\/p>\n

Returning for its\u00a07th season, it’s bigger and better than ever, with Vancouver’s best chocolatiers, pastry shops, bakeries, cafes, gelato and ice cream parlours joining forces to make the humble chocolate drink hotter than it\u2019s ever been before.<\/p>\n

61<\/strong>\u00a0Flavours
\n29<\/strong>\u00a0Chocstars (vendors and suppliers)
\n29<\/strong>\u00a0Locations around Greater Vancouver
\n27<\/strong>\u00a0Days to do it all!<\/p>\n
