Light The Bridge

Light The Bridge

I absolutely love the idea of lighting up the High Level bridge. I am certain there are some who will disagree with me, but I love that this is going to be paid for by donations not tax dollars. There are some big corporate sponsors like ATB and EPCOR, but if this project is going to go ahead, most of [...]

Love Where You Liv

HOW IT IS.
This is the spot. No one else’s view of the city looks like this one. The lush firs in the backyard mean you only have to see your neighbours if you want to.

We make it our business to be the trusted voice [...]

Faced with the choice of renewing our license or daring to dream about what life might be like in another, new, ‘different’ relationship, we’ve been very busy since our last ‘Free Agency Update’.
