Photo: Sam Leung Ten years ago, I married myself at a frothy white, beachside ceremony with six other fabulous women. We laughed, cried, paraded through Vancouver in the back of a Cadillac convertible and spilled champagne all over our gowns.

Today's dog featured in Dogtown Vancouver is June Bug, Jennette's pup. Here's what she had to say about her... NAME: June Bug. BREED: Bospin (half Boston Terrier half Miniature Pinscher). HOOD: Yaletown. FAVOURITE SNACK: BBQ Chicken.

Our friend Nardwuar chatted with John Dwyer of Thee Oh Sees at the Levitation Vancouver festival. Enjoy!

Vancouver Symphony composer in residence Jocelyn Morlock reminds us that experiencing a live performance is so much more than a recorded experience. Jocelyn introduces us to a newly designed instrument the "Lumiphone" by Benton Roark. https://www.

Jazz Fest kicks off this week, bringing international talent like Japan’s "death jazz" group Soil & “Pimp” Sessions to Vancouver.

The Enlightened Nerd is a column designed to enlighten the inner nerd in all of us through local whimsical and intellectual events, people, and places.

THE PROOF is a weekly roundup showcasing local creatives. A column for creatives to share their story and work, in a unique, concise format: each creative shows 8 pictures and answers 8 questions.

It's going to be an awesome weekend. City of Bhangra. Festival d'été francophone de Vancouver. Car Free Day. Plus Levitation, which kicks off today, featuring bass player extraordinaire Thundercat Saturday night.

Summer is the time of year when Vancouver sees many tourists. There is probably a good chance that you may have visitors in the next couple of months. If it’s clear and sunny, you'll have no shortage of things to do and places to take them.

Every week our friends at The Georgia Straight provide us with a preview of what you’ll see on – and in – their paper that week.
