There are few things more fun than cooking with the ones you love, which is why Better Together, in partnership with the BC Ministry of Health, has just launched the second annual Hands-On Cook-Off contest happening this summer! Open from July 15th to August 31st this contest invites everyone in BC to grab a friend, or a family member, and create a home video cooking show that celebrates making and eating meals together. The one caveat? Two generations must be represented in your show, which is perfect for a parent and child pairing.

Walking the green walk and talking the green talk when it comes to hair (and skin, and nails and feet) is what they do at Strands Salon where they’ve been using ammonia-free hair colour for 21 years now and they also shun Nano silver. Green before green was a buzz word, Strands combines eco-friendly with eco-chic, seeing no need to sacrifice style to the ecological altar.

With summer right around the corner, it’s time to plan for family vacations. But with the cost and headaches associated with long trips like international flights, house-sitters, packing, planning and more, why not staycate in your back yard at The Fairmont Chateau Whistler?

Do you remember the good old days when you used to go to rock concerts every weekend. You know…the days before kids? Why not relive those days…kindie-style!

You know you wait all year for it…and the wait is over. The Vancouver International Children’s Festival is back in town, and this year it’s better than ever!

Come check out the Kid’s Fest in their brand new location on Granville Island. The exciting locale will be the center of all things kids from May 30th to June 5th. With amazing shows and fun filled activity zones there is something for everyone.
