Here’s What’s Happening In Your City This Weekend

The work week is almost over, and with the weather looking good for the next few days, it’s the perfect time to start exploring the activities and events your city and province has to offer.

Since last Spring, many attractions in Vancouver, Calgary and Mississauga have been impacted by the pandemic, but as the world slowly re-opens, there’s plenty happening this weekend.

 

Remember: Due to a number of public health restrictions still in place, some of the events listed below are in-person, online and drive-in, so check directly with organizers before making plans.
