5 things to do in Vancouver today: Thursday, September 3

Dec 20 2017, 1:10 am

It seems like summer in Vancouver is nothing but a fond memory. Rain clouds blot out the sun, chill winds are blowing in across the ocean, and, as always, it’s impossible to tell if you should actually dress for rain. Maybe it’ll be 20 degrees this afternoon. Then won’t you feel stupid? Alleviate some of that uncertainty with a few things happening around the city today.

As always, check out the Vancity Buzz Events Calendar for more.
