Much like Morris the Cat, the Celebration of Light continues to have 9 lives and perhaps more. After organizers announced the cancellation of this Summer's event due to lack of sponsorship several http://www.2010vancouver.ca/celebration-of-light-fireworks-makes-another-comeback-028914.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/celebration-of-light-fireworks-makes-another-comeback-028914.php Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:19:35 -0800 Technically in West Vancouver, the Point Atkinson Lighthouse was built in 1910. For a closeup view, you can check out Lighthouse Park, where there are trails for walking and viewing. This shot was taken from the water, but the views from the beaches at Lighthouse Park are just as impressive! http://www.2010vancouver.ca/views-of-vancouver-point-atkinson-lighthouse-028474.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/views-of-vancouver-point-atkinson-lighthouse-028474.php Sun, 01 Mar 2009 10:00:00 -0800 Yaletown is known for its hip shops and trendy cafes. But it's also home to loads of condo towers that, in the right light, are beautiful to behold. My favorite is coming over the Granville Street bridge from Kits when the sun is shining on all the towers in Yaletown http://www.2010vancouver.ca/views-of-vancouver-yaletown-028472.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/views-of-vancouver-yaletown-028472.php Sat, 28 Feb 2009 10:00:00 -0800 In Vancouver we're spoiled, having the water and the mountains all around us. We also have so much green space -- a luxury in any urban zone. One of my favourite views is when we see the water, our green spaces, and tall condo towers all in one livable space. http://www.2010vancouver.ca/views-of-vancouver-boats-parks-and-towers-028473.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/views-of-vancouver-boats-parks-and-towers-028473.php Thu, 26 Feb 2009 10:00:00 -0800 We are now less than a year away from the opening ceremonies on February 12, 2010. Much like Expo '86 changed the footprint and global perspective of Vancouver, so too will 2010 forever leave its mark on the city and residents of Vancouver. Here is a round-up of coverage http://www.2010vancouver.ca/2010-winter-olympics-under-1-year-and-counting-028760.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/2010-winter-olympics-under-1-year-and-counting-028760.php Wed, 18 Feb 2009 03:42:18 -0800 We're still just over a year away from the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, but Canadian broadcasters are wasting little time getting their web coverage in order. Today, the Canadian Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium officially went live with two Olympic websites, CTVOlympics.ca and RDSolympiques.ca. In case you were http://www.2010vancouver.ca/canadian-broadcasters-launch-their-olympic-websites-028667.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/canadian-broadcasters-launch-their-olympic-websites-028667.php Mon, 09 Feb 2009 13:03:02 -0800 So how do you really feel Henrik? Is Vigneault's inability to find the right lineup recipe the reason for the Canucks 8-game debacle? Is the Sedin's inconsistent play to blame? Or perhaps Gillis/Nonis are the culprits for assembling a roster full of paper talent but no real proven 'winners' http://www.2010vancouver.ca/can-canucks-clear-cobwebs-in-february-028624.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/can-canucks-clear-cobwebs-in-february-028624.php Tue, 03 Feb 2009 05:49:03 -0800 Lots of awesome stuff happening in Vancity this weekend, here are a few highlights: Film: Spark FX 2009 Ten eye catching classic effects laden films, 15 fascinating speaking events and 6 fabulous days. SPARK FX 09 is bringing films like "Alien", "Forbidden Planet", "T2: Judgment Day" and "Lord of http://www.2010vancouver.ca/weekend-wrap-january-2425-2009-028526.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/weekend-wrap-january-2425-2009-028526.php Sat, 24 Jan 2009 05:35:43 -0800 Vancouver is a stunning city, so in the coming weeks I'll be sharing some photographs of my favourite Vancouver views. Here, in the first installment of the photo series, you see the Lions -- also known as the Two Sisters in a First Nations legend. This shot was taken from http://www.2010vancouver.ca/views-of-vancouver-the-lions-028469.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/views-of-vancouver-the-lions-028469.php Thu, 22 Jan 2009 10:00:00 -0800 The Vancouver Aquarium's baby beluga, Tiqa, turned 7 months old on January 10, but she's nowhere near grown up yet. On a visit today I saw the charming baby play with her mother Qila and grandmother Aurora -- with none of the massive crowds that bombarded the aquarium with Tiqa http://www.2010vancouver.ca/tiqa-7-months-old-but-still-a-charming-baby-028467.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/tiqa-7-months-old-but-still-a-charming-baby-028467.php Mon, 19 Jan 2009 23:13:26 -0800 You've probably heard about the inversion we've had over the last week or so in Vancouver. This weekend I thought I'd go and check it out myself. Up at Cypress Mountain, the sun was shining and it was warm -- t-shirt warm. Here's what it looked like on the snowshoe http://www.2010vancouver.ca/fog-in-the-city-sunshine-on-the-mountains-028462.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/fog-in-the-city-sunshine-on-the-mountains-028462.php Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:59:50 -0800 As you may or may not have read previously on this blog, I'm on a mission to find Vancouver's best green curry. My latest foray into Thai food was a trip to Montri's in Kits. The thing is, with so many tasty and unique dishes on the menu, I couldn't http://www.2010vancouver.ca/montris-i-bet-theyd-have-won-the-green-curry-wars-028456.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/montris-i-bet-theyd-have-won-the-green-curry-wars-028456.php Sat, 17 Jan 2009 10:19:18 -0800 If you have friends and family living in Toronto, chances are you are concerned this morning about their well being. Much of the western portion of Toronto has been without power or heat for over 10 hours so far due to a broken water main that flooded a power http://www.2010vancouver.ca/toronto-blackout-still-ongoing-028451.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/toronto-blackout-still-ongoing-028451.php Fri, 16 Jan 2009 06:48:28 -0800 You would think that with all the snow we experienced last month that Vancouver would be overflowing with flood-like conditions. We've always been blessed with plenty of fresh water, offering some of the best quality drinking tap water on the planet. Unfortunately, the snowpacks on the mountains are nowhere http://www.2010vancouver.ca/expect-droughtlike-conditions-this-summer-028440.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/expect-droughtlike-conditions-this-summer-028440.php Thu, 15 Jan 2009 14:03:20 -0800 The downturn of the economy is affecting a lot of people, but VANOC still felt confident that all the companies that signed on as Olympic sponsors would come through with the support and cash that they promised when they first signed on. Unfortunately for the organizing committee, things aren't http://www.2010vancouver.ca/nortel-backing-out-of-olympic-sponsorship-028414.php http://www.2010vancouver.ca/nortel-backing-out-of-olympic-sponsorship-028414.php Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:23:47 -0800
