In 1999, photographer Ron Smid started exploring Canada, capturing its beauty through film. He’s sharing those photos, and his passion for what they say about our country at the Shangri-La Hotel’s Xi Shi Lounge. As artist in residence until April 15, he’s even there on weekends (from 1 to 4pm) to tell guests the story behind each photo in Canada: The Light on Our Land. The menu for the afternoon tea, which is served daily from 11am to 5pm, is also Canada-inspired, ranging from a BC smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel to cinnamon dusted doughnuts with maple cream. $38 per person.
