I went down to the Station Street Farmers Market to help publicize this new Wednesday location and to refresh my supply of local greens. In case you don't know, the market goes from 3pm to 7pm.

I always wonder what the first day of a new market will be like. It's a bit like inviting friends to a party and wondering if anyone is going to come!

Royal Vancouver Yacht Club 3811 Point Grey Road. Wednesday May 16 - 6:30 - 8pm Refreshments served, admission by donation. British Columbians stopped oil tankers from travelling our waters 30 years ago, and we can do it again. Hear speakers from the Dogwood Initiative describe how oil tankers threaten local ecology and how they contribute to Canada’s increasing production of greenhouse gasses. This presentation will prime you on the risks oil tankers pose to our coast and the globe. More importantly, it will arm you with the tools to stop them.

I have a fear of flying. I always have and it sucks. By the time I leave an airport, I am usually so grateful to be coming away from the experience with my life that I never seem to even notice if there are annoying things about the way the airport is run. Jen, from Vancouver's Beyond Robson, however has more to say on the subject of YVR being a little under par.

The Vancouver summer Fireworks extravaganza will not run this year if they can't raise the funds. I think they need $1 million to do it. This is a wonderful event that brings peope together from all over the Lower Mainland. I am prepared to pledge $100. Would you like to join in? How about the company you work for? Ask your boss!I can ask Vancity to set up an account to collect the funds.let me know what you think and what you are prepared to pledge!
