Fabulous events to end the world this week in Vancouver, BC
There's no NHL, but there's still the Giants' Annual Teddy Bear Toss - and much more events in the arts, music, movies and party department to keep you busy as a bee this weekend and beyond.
If you do believe the world will end on the 21st, at least say goodbye to it in style. Tis the season when you can throw teddybears at the hockey hunks, get to know your tea, enjoy music with wine (or the other way around), learn to be hip on the dancefloor, properly stuff your stocking or donate one (well, socks), meet your future tattoo guru, and much more. Scroll down to the end to see what of the best we've saved for last. And if you have an event to promote, buzz us an email!
