Just in time for Canada’s 150th birthday – Vancouver Public Library has crunched the numbers to reveal Vancouver’s top 10 Canadian books borrowed ‘of all time’ (technically, as far back as the library’s computer records go, which is 15 years).

This might be the most jam-packed Canada Day ever! Celebrate how lucky we are to call Canada our home with one of these events: 1. Canada Day Fireworks Vancouver’s only two-barge simultaneous pyrotechnic extravaganza.

Our Daily Photo #2578 is from vancitystones who took this shot of a colourful mural in East Van. They say pink and green should never be seen, but I kind of like this.

Each week we’ll uncover some unusual and (hopefully) interesting facts about the city. This week we take on the Gulf Islands. 1. D’Arcy Island housed a “secret” leprosy institution In 1891, five cases of leprosy were discovered in Victoria.

Our Daily Photo #2577 is from shawnacalderwood who took this shot of an otter pup currently in the Vancouver Aquarium's care.

The Evaporators continue their reign of punk rock fun with their new song, ‘Starboard’. Check it out below, then head to Grandview Park this Saturday (July 1), to see them live alongside a day of Canada 150 celebrations.

Our Daily Photo #2576 is from ne_meic who took this shot at the top of Quarry Rock. You always get rewarded by early mornings hike.

If you’ve been searching for a beautifully illustrated Canadian story to share with your children, look no further.
