Burnaby Mountain Golf Course – Jon and Eric’s Day out

by Jonathan

Ahh, the golf course. Is there any better way to escape the responsibilities of life? Grabbing a few lucky friends and renting a golf cart, or just meandering around the greens by your lonesome, golf is one of man’s most relaxing recreational sports.

Play On Burnaby - 1Contest Opportunity

What is more uniquely Canadian than Street Hockey? We all experienced it, whether it be moving our rickety nets for passing cars, or digging through our neighbors lawns searching for our plastic orange ball; (hey, we only had one and they were like 2 bucks each at Wal-Mart), street hockey was a way for kids of all ages, and both genders to bond, and to learn to love the game of hockey.

Burnaby Village Museum – Opening Day

by Fanny

Burnaby Village Museum opening day, 2012While Cinco de Mayo was in full effect this past Saturday, those in attendance at the Don Wrigley Carousel Pavillion at Burnaby Village Museum were having a celebration of a different sort, commemorating their opening day as well as the 100th anniversary of the iconic C.W. Parker Carousel #119 and the Interurban Tram 1223. Each person in attendance at the opening reception had their own connections to the carousel, and it was amazing to say in the least to meet these individuals and hear their stories. Each of the horses have a story, and a sponsor behind it. Continue reading →

Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race

by Jonathan

Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race - 1 Contest Opportunity

Have you ever wanted to be a survival person? We all watch the Discovery Channel and look at these crazy guys with beards, wearing spandex, eating mushrooms from the ground and drinking rain water, and we think one of two things:

First, “I am really craving Doritos right now.” Then secondly, “I wonder if I could do that.”

Well, it may not be as hardcore as a Bear Grylls escapade, but the Atmosphere Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race, or MOMAR, is a great way to test your physical endurance and have fun with a large group of amateur adventurers. Continue reading →
