Welcome to The Playground, a place for Vancouver families. I’m always on the lookout for fun stuff to do, so if there’s something happening that you think I should know about, don't hesitate to contact me. |
Just because summer vacation is over doesn't mean the fun has to end. There are lots of festivities taking place all over town in the next few weeks that promise to be great fun for the family. Here are a few that I think you should check out:
