At first glance the weekend doesn’t appear all that busy but once you add in all the Paralympic fun (we’ve recently updated our list and many of the Spring Break events we listed in last week’s weekend guide, well then things are just hopping! And don’t forget to go green next Wednesday for St. Patrick’s Day.

The post-Olympic letdown has hit but don’t be glum, the fun isn’t over quite yet. From the 12th to the 21st of March Vancouver and Whistler are hosting the 2010 Paralympic Games. And with them returns a lot of the local fun (and hopefully shorter line ups) than last time round. Plus tickets are a lot more reasonable if you’d like to catch some events. So without further ado, and in the same vein as our article on Olympic Family Fun, here’s our listing of Paralymic Family Fun.
