Spring might be just around the corner, Vancouver, but it looks like winter is not quite done saying goodbye. We’ve got a full week of rain in the forecast, which has us double-guessing outdoor activities. But hey, we’re keeping a couple around just in case the mood changes!
Here are the 10 best things to do in Vancouver this week.
Lights to the Lodge
A little post-work fun never hurt anyone. This experience is a snowshoe light walk that will have you exploring Cypress Mountain’s nordic area, their historic Hollyburn Lodge, and more!
When: Open throughout the week
Where: 6000 Cypress Bowl Road, West Vancouver
Cost: $28.80+
Grouse Mountain
Rain in Vancouver usually means snow on the North Shore. This week we’re picking Grouse, which has got a wide range of runs and terrains for every skill level. Play hooky one day, or scoot over after work instead!
When: Open throughout the week
Where: 6400 Nancy Greene Way, North Vancouver
Cost: Varies
Shipyards Skate Plaza
The Skate Plaza has extended its season, and will now be open until the end of March! If you haven’t already checked it out, this could be a great week to do so.
When: Open throughout the week
Where: 125 Victory Ship Way, North Vancouver
Cost: Free to access
Luca Fogale
Why not enjoy a little bit of local talent this week! Luca Fogale hails from Burnaby, and is quickly getting recognized for his beautiful voice and songwriting capabilities.
When: Friday, March 4th
Where: 3123 W Broadway

Watch some short films
Ahead of the Oscars, the VIFF Centre is screening roundups of both the live-action and animated short films that got the nod this year. It’s a fun mix up from movie night in, if you ask us.

Live theatre is back in Vancouver, and one of the best ways to experience it is at the Arts Club. They’re showing some fun stuff both in-person and online, but we’re focused on a live-action version of Kim’s Convenience.

Cost: $35+
Bloedel Conservatory
We’re wrapping up this list with a couple of spots that manage to put a smile on our face, no matter the weather. First up is the Bloedel Conservatory, which offers an amazing array of tropical plants and birds to chill out with. You can’t look at a cool parrot and not feel better, it’s science.
When: Open throughout the week
Where: 4600 Cambie Street
Cost: $7.05
Museum of Anthropology
The exhibition Sankofa: African Routes, Canadian Roots focuses on contemporary artists from, you guessed it, African countries and Canada alike. It wraps up this March, so head over there if you’re intrigued!
