5 things to do in Vancouver today: Tuesday, July 14

The only day of the week that is worse than a Monday is a Tuesday – you’re still far away from the weekend and yet it isn’t the start of the week, a universally hated day that brings co-workers closer together through a mutual distaste for work and a desire to discuss the happenings of the weekend past. It simply exists to prolong the work week.

Well, stop being so down about it. Here are five fun activities happening in Metro Vancouver today, Tuesday, July 14, that’ll help you through this weekday purgatory.
