This FREE festival celebrates and encourages Vancouverites to build a more sustainable future for our city by bringing communities together to share their ideas and celebrate innovations.

Have you heard about the brand new new Cliffwalk attraction at the Capilano Suspension Bridge? Opening tomorrow, "this heart-stopping cliffside journey takes you through rainforest vegetation on a series of unobtrusive cantilevered and suspended walkways jutting out from the granite cliff face above Capilano River to previously unexplored areas of the park. Not for the faint of heart, it is high and narrow and, in some sections, glass (very strong glass) is all that separates guests from the canyon far below."
Cliffwalk features educational signage with ecological information from the David Suzuki Foundation, making it a perfect way to spend an afternoon with the kids (leave your strollers in the car!). Even more perfect would be spending an afternoon at Cliffwalk with a family pack of four tickets and an exclusive swag bag for FREE. You just have to win the giveaway ($130 value!).
Backyard tourism wouldn't be complete without a shopping spree, and with a $100 gift certificate from the Robson Square Artisan Market you're more thank likely to walk away with something utterly lovely and unique (made locally!) as opposed to something generic and boring (made... elsewhere).
