COVID-19
We have re-checked every business in this book before publication to ensure that it is still open after the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the economic and social impacts of COVID-19 will continue to be felt long after the outbreak has been contained, and many businesses, services and events referenced in this guide may experience ongoing restrictions. Some businesses may be temporarily closed, have changed their opening hours and services, or require bookings; some unfortunately could have closed permanently. We suggest you check with venues before visiting for the latest information.
Welcome to Canada

Along with over 20% of Canada’s population, I was born overseas, gravitating to British Columbia in my 30s where I was quickly seduced by a country whose personality is rooted to the noble tenets of peace, order, and good government. I love Canada for its cultural diversity, liberal freedoms, fondness for outdoor life, and pure, unsullied wilderness. After over a decade living here, I’m still only scratching the surface.
