Bard on the Beach being one of them.
Saw Falstaff with my most theatrical friend Katie, instead of my non-synopsis-reading husband. And had the best night ever.
Her favourite things about the play? Dean Paul Gibson, who played Falstaff, for one. “He was so on point with his comedy but also drew us in so well with his [...]
Kind of. Lawn bowling is more about socializing, costuming and leisuring than it is about athleticizing. At least when you play it like we do.
The second annual Vancouver Leisure Society lawn bowling extravaganza kicked off this week at the Stanley Park Lawn Bowling Club (the world’s most beautiful venue).
In honour of Eva Markvoort, the month-long tournament benefits the Canadian [...]
Fighting juvenile diabetes? Well, what d’ya know, so am I!
This Sunday I’ll be at the Walk to Cure Diabetes with nine-year-old wunderkind Jack Stuart, who has been battling the disease since he was five.
But that’s not all I’ll be doing.
There’s also a Rickard Guy moccasin workshop (photo by Michelle Ford).
An old roommate’s art show, dinner with friends, [...]
He’s inspired thousands. He’s raised $35,000 for diabetes research. And he’s only nine years old.
Jack Stuart, captain of Team Jack of Hearts, will be leading the charge at The Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes in Vancouver. His goal? To raise $20,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
And I’m on his team.
Want to help him achieve his goal? [...]

Celebrate Transplant is an upcoming event aiming to raise funds for transplant research and promote awareness of the need for increased donor registration in BC (only 17% of British Columbians are registered donors). It takes place Saturday, April 17 at the Medical Student & Alumni Centre near Vancouver General Hospital.
This second annual Celebrate [...]
Eva Markvoort, whose heartbreaking battle with cystic fibrosis was chronicled in the documentary 65_RedRoses, would have been 26 today.
She lost her battle with the disease on Saturday. The legacy she leaves is one of hope. How many more people are organ donors because of the awareness she raised? How many more funds were raised? It would be impossible to measure because her [...]
So here’s mine: I want to amass a huge art collection. I want a collection so massive I have to keep half of it in storage. I want paintings and photographs and sculptures. Tons of them. Everywhere.
And I’m on my way (just look at my living room wall). But there’s always room for more.
So if [...]
We beat ourselves at our own game. We aimed to raise $10,000 for the Red Cross’ relief efforts in Haiti.
And instead we raised more than $16,000 at Hope in Haiti. Maybe even more than $17,000. (Math was never my strong suit.) Either way, it’s incredible.
So thank you, Vancouver! And thanks again to Barcelona for being the hosts [...]
We raised thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars for the Red Cross on Wednesday. And it was all thanks to those of you who came, volunteered, sponsored and supported Hope in Haiti.
Larissa and Kim, you guys blew my mind. A huge thank you to Barcelona for hosting it.
A huge thank you to all those who helped out [...]
Just try to outbid me at the Hope in Haiti auction Wednesday night. The spa packages, the Opus Hotel in Montreal, the baseball signed by Alex Rodriguez. Yes, that Alex Rodriguez.
I’ve got my eye on them all. Plus, The WZRDZ, DJ Flipout, and DJ Soo will be there. And so will your favourite bloggers.
A few tickets are still [...]
