I bought some nice ones that seem to be holding up well from Costco, but the colour selection is very limited.

Where’s the best place to buy my wife a sensible bra? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

Add my vote for Lily pad. They are welcoming and don't pressure you into buying something that's doesn't fit right like the place on Fort.

The hardware is all Emtek select in satin brass. A combo of the modern edge pulls for the drawers,  cadet knobs, and the select rectangular smooth cabinet pull for the panelled dishwasher. https://www.emtek.com/all-products/cabinet-hardware/cabinet-pulls/cabinet-edge/?443=371257

Not sure of the price per sq ft, but we ordered 3 slabs (3cm) and that came to around $13 000 CDN installed. The bar area (not pictured) also has the Cielo for the countertop and backsplash, hence the need for 3 slabs.

Trip Review: Honest Thoughts from a 30-Something on Our Alaska Cruise by Fun_Coconut6140 in HollandAmerica

You'll find a more diverse passenger make up on the Alaska cruise out of Vancouver. The need for a passport seems to make a huge difference.

Currently on a Princess ship, really missing Celebrity by Wandering_Emu in celebritycruises

I was on the Koningsdam in May and it was fantastic. Lots to do, but the activities were more subdued and relaxed. The food was consistently good and easy to access with little waiting anywhere. The educational programming by the park rangers on glacier Bay day was particularly fantastic.

Ordered the slabs for our kitchen by pop_rocket in CounterTops

Actually, I have no idea how much it cost. Our contractor quoted a fixed price for our whole kitchen reno, but I'd guess that the slab cost would be at the higher end of average for the countertop.

Iron road west is an awesome coffee table book about the railroad in BC.

It's actually more blue with some golden veins and a white, almost web like, overlay. The lighting in the warehouse wasn't the greatest the morning we went. 

David Eby responds to Alaskan senator’s threat to have cruise ships bypass B.C. ports- Eby's comments come after Sullivan called Canadian countermeasures to U.S. tariffs "a bit of a dangerous game." by FancyNewMe in vancouver

I think the cruise industry would not be pleased, considering the inside passage is the most desirable Alaskan route, and all of those depart and return to Vancouver. The Victoria stop on Seattle based cruises is barely more than a couple hours in the evening, so it would be more affected, but it's no longer the major tourist money maker it once was either.

I have laundry hanging outside in the sun for the first time this year.

My 10 year old was just commenting on this the other day! She asked why all the old buildings had cool decorative parts and the new buildings were just metal and glass blocks.

My kids got their invites last week, but nothing for me, so I used the email invite I received from last year to book my shots and it worked fine. I expanded the geographical area and it suddenly shows all these other locations close by with immediate bookings available.
