Vancouver Boat Show

by Tazim Damji

boat show

During British Columbia (B.C.)'s first Family Day weekend, I went to the Vancouver Boat Show, which took place on both Granville Island and in B.C. Place. I love looking at sailboats and yachts, day-dreaming about one day owning a boat of my own. One of my favourite things to do is to go down to one of the many marinas in the city and area. The thing that was different about being at the boat show rather than just staring at boats sitting in the water, was that you could go on to the boats to ...

Vancouver Boat Show B.C. Family Day Weekend

by Tazim Damji

If you're one of my readers from the USA, you're probably wondering what Family Day is. Family Day is a holiday that has been celebrated for years in other provinces, but it's the first year that we get to celebrate, too. A fun family-friendly activity to do is attend the Vancouver Boat Show. It's probably no surprise that I have a thing for sailboats. I really can't think of a better way to spend a weekend than looking at boats and boat paraphernalia.  ...

Winter Activities — Emerald Sunday

by Tazim Damji

Unlike where I used to live for a third of my life—Houston, Texas—we actually get all four seasons up here in Canada. Since winter lasts for so long, it's a good idea to try and stay active during this time, rather than just staying inside and being cozy. Even though I have lived in Calgary, Alberta for a good part of my life, my family never really got in to winter sports. Being so close to Whistler, and a variety of other mountains and spots to go skiing, I feel as though I should at least ...

A Fresh Start Is Like Jumping Out Of An Airplane

by Tazim Damji

life without risk

Starting on a new adventure can be both exciting and scary at the same time—like jumping out of an airplane. I should know, because I've done so before. No one told me that the first time you skydive, you aren't supposed to do so solo. Apparently the norm is to skydive with an instructor, and then go solo. I had no idea. It wasn't something that had been on my 'bucket list' for a long time, or something that I'd been wanting to do for a long time. Really, how would that be possible—I went ...

Last weekend I drove down to Deep Cove—which is only about 20 minutes away from where I live in North Vancouver. The view of the mountains, the marina and the ocean (Burrard Inlet) is pretty amazing: ...

This past Thanksgiving holiday we went on a super-quick trip to Calgary for the rest of our stuff. It was so beautiful—the light and the colours of fall were amazing to see. It was so great that I didn't mind the 12 hour drive each way. ...

marina north vancouver

Mosquito Creek Marina in North Vancouver, B.C. is just down the hill from where I live—and is a great place to watch boats, look out over the water and view downtown Vancouver. There are boat sheds, moorage and storage, and ocean homes right on the North Vancouver harbour.  ...

Toyota Prius Event & Rally Next is Now #toyotalove

by Tazim Damji

toyota prius

I was already a fan before, but a day spent learning more about Toyota's family of hybrid Prius cars and I feel like I'm cheating on my own car. I was treated to breakfast and an interesting talk about how hybrids work, the range of cars, and the future of Toyota hybrids before the real fun began.  ...

Adventures, Journeys, and Travel Tips from the Archives

by Tazim Damji

tea

Why the picture of a glass of delicious homemade iced tea? Well, that photo was taken in Calgary, in my brother's house are few months ago—before we moved back to Vancouver and had a few interesting adventures. That's what this post is all about—adventures, destinations, and journeys taken.  Sipping on the sweet nectar of our memories I'm in the beginning stages of planning a trip for my dad and I to take together—the first time we've done so, apart from trips to the zoo or him showing me ...
