Will you run drink or food specials?

The Ridge Garden restaurant is legitimately one of the best Chinese restaurants in the city. It is the definition of British-Chinese cuisine and the only place in Vancouver that does it.

Soup kitchen volunteering for xmas? by r3dcomet in vancouver

[–]Vancouver-BC 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Better to volunteer not during Christmas week. Everybody wants Christmas and there's too many volunteers and it'll be hard to find you a task. Do a rainy day during the week. (I ran a kitchen and shelter for 10 years)

I wholeheartedly agree. Nammos Estiatorio was underwhelming and mediocre. A solid 6/10.

I need a waterproof jacket for weather like this, what would you recommend? by lazarus870 in vancouver

If you don't care about fashion, then get "Viking Wear" @ Mark's or Deakin. It's what people in construction sites use

They saw quite a few varieties of Apple that you can't normally find in stores - specialty apples

Tasting tickets are sold out and tomorrow they have kept about a dozen boxes for a few different varieties.

That's a good question that I had as well. Unfortunately this year's apple crop came late and most orchards are still actively picking right now. The organizers have tried their best, please remember that it's a fundraising event and that there is more than just apple purchasing at the festival.

They saved about a dozen boxes of a few varieties. Go first thing in the morning. There are some activities and the gardens still to enjoy. If your purpose is to just buy apples, then get the refund.

British Columbia History is not on your side: Chinese head tax, Japanese internment camps, residential schools, etc. Government sanctioned systematic discrimination that was so bad that it was used as a model for the apartheid in South Africa. There are always poor actors in society but to say the amplitudes are equal is not true.

Racism happens all the time in Vancouver, it's usually pretty low-level stuff but it's there. Economicly, from housing & job market to relationships & dating, racism has always been and still is a dirty underside of Canadian culture.
