Vancouver Is Awesome is a proud sponsor of Vancouver Aquarium's Ocean Wise™ program , created in 2005 to address overfishing, the single biggest threat facing our oceans today.

Before last week I had only previously met Chef Robert Clark on our website, reading THIS INTERVIEW with him in our series of Oceanwise Ambassador profiles.

The recent construction of Creekway Park by Hastings Park is just one step of a long-term plan to bring back the historic waterway known as Renfrew Creek or Hastings Creek.

In this final video I'm hosting with Granville Island this yuletide season, I'm encouraging some experience gifts that nobody on your list will ever see coming. http://www.youtube.

Fishing in our own backyard Do you remember when 'going fishin' meant just a hop, skip and a jump from your backdoor and home in time for dinner? I have great memories of fishing in the Strait of Georgia during the 1980’s and early 1990’s.

I join Mike Eckford every week on his show, "The Shift", on CKNW to chat about all things awesome and (usually) travel related in BC. Yesterday we talked about the East Van salmon, and their cousins in Tofino.

By the time this post is published over 13,000 people will have watched my shaky handheld VIDEO of 8 dying Chum salmon spawning in what used to be one of the most polluted streams in the Lower Mainland.

Last year around this time I wrote THIS in-depth post about the nearly-impossible story of salmon returning to Still Creek in Vancouver for the first time in 80 years.

Last month I made THIS POST about our community sponsor, TELUS, looking to profile passionate people in their outdoor glory.
