Age:18 Two moments occurred for me during this year. …. I was trying out for the Varsity Rowing Team at UBC by participating in their Learn-to-Row program and attending their required fitness tests. It became very apparent early on that I was not the fastest nor strongest lightweight trying to make the team that year. …

She started off in coffee shops and singing of chocolate milk. Now she is taking to the road across Canada and is making a name for herself on the CBC Music’s Hunt for Canada’s Best New Artist. On this rainy Vancouver morning, plug in your earphones, grab a cup of tea and press play. You’ll …

Turn off the light. ALL of the lights. Make it so dark you can’t even see your hand in front of your face. Let your sense of touch, and sound, and taste come alive. This weekend began with a dinner at Dark Table, a new dining experience in Vancouver where you enjoy an entire dining …

I have been overwhelmed with gratitude this past week as it came in tidal waves and small smiles. Ariel + Shahed took me under their wing while in Mexico and made this gent feel so much love. I’ve rocked out solo at weddings before (albeit not as exotic as Puerto Vallarta), and having these two …
