What’s Good This Week – Nov 20 Edition

What To Do In Vancouver

Last week we were up in Whistler and this week has started out way slower as I’m home trying to get over a nasty cold. However I’m hoping I’m on the mend as there’s lots to do including the opening of Miss Bennet at The Arts Club, The Aurora Winter Festival, Brunch Comedy, and The Italian Christmas Market.
