A couple of days ago Campbell made this news release “I’d like to really see it go ahead. It would be tremendous for the city,” Campbell said. “The Whitecaps have been great citizens.

Discovering Vancouver
April 24th, 2008 Categories: Kitsilano

The hood is now built out and contains more than 1000 condos and townhomies, in over 12 buildings. There was quite an outcry from the hood in the initial planning stages as the City wanted to build midrise condos. Read the rest of this entry »

Vancouver Sun Run
April 22nd, 2008 Categories: Vancouver
Vancouver Sun Run held on Sunday, April 20th broke many records.
The 24th Sun Run broke a record for lowest temperature on that day, the highest number of participants (over 59,000) from all over the world.
The first Sun Run in 1985 started with about 3700 people. In 2006 it ranked the 3rd largest race in the world. It is Canada’s largest 10K run. Other interesting facts. Maybe you’d like to join in next year? Click here for my contact form for other Vancouver events. See what other Vancouver events are happening in Vancouver.
The race is not a charity event, however, the organizers claim that over $l.l million has been donated since 1985. The purpose of the race is promote health, fitness and community spirit and to support amateur athletics.
Did you run? Was the weather detrimental to your performance?
