Hi friends!
My daughter asked what Oakridge used to look like.
I tried to explain: "It was a mall. With a Safeway. And a food court. And you could just... park there and buy things."
She looked at me like I was describing the dinosaurs.
Anyway, it's finally opening this spring. Here's what else you need to know this week…
Here’s what’s inside this issue:
🛍️ Oakridge Is Happening: It's actually opening this spring. Safeway, Time Out Market, and everything.
🏃 Half Marathon Heads-Up: Stanley Park road closures Sunday morning. Plan accordingly.
⛸️ Skating Registration: Set your alarm for 7 PM. You know the drill.
🔨 Home Depot Kids Workshop: Leprechaun traps. Free. Registration opens Feb 16.
📚 $2 Books: Friends of the Library sale in North Van this weekend. Bring a tote bag.
🎨 Free Emily Carr: VAG is free Friday 4–8 PM, and a major new Emily Carr show opens the same night.
Let's get into it. 👇🏼
