Vanmag.com, June 2018 Full article online or read the preview below The new Stanley Park Brewing development likely won't be open until late fall. If you’d hoped for somewhere to refill your growler before heading to Third Beach this summer, sadly, you’re going to be disappointed. The long-awaited development of the former Fish House in Stanley Park is not expected to open before November. The site has been vacant since the iconic restaurant closed in 2015. The new leaseholders, Stanley Park Brewing Co., plan to open a restaurant with a small batch brewery and function room within the existing footprint this year. In January, the project seemed to get the green light when Vancouver City Council approved the required liquor licence. What’s the hold up? You might wonder why it’s taken so long for a restaurant to open on the site of what was arguably one of Vancouver’s best known special occasion restaurants. Well, it’s complicated.

Vanmag.com September 6, 2018 It’s worth knowing your rights when a developer comes knocking on your strata’s door. Do you live in a low-rise, ageing condo in an up-and-coming area? Have you noticed a surprising number of glass towers springing up around you? Does your apartment have any kind of view, access to a Skytrain station or some other enticing feature? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may have already discovered the obvious—your humble home is a prime spot for development. And that, my friend, can cause some soul-searching for anyone who wants to avoid the madness that is Vancouver’s real estate scene. Understanding the process can go a long way to alleviate anxiety and help you reach the best possible outcome.

There was a time when Jacques Martiquet couldn’t imagine a night out without a drink. Extroverted and charming, the 22-year-old UBC pharmacology graduate nonetheless felt nervous about stepping onto the dance floor without a social lubricant. “I used to be a pretty anxious kid, and I wouldn’t dance in public,” he admits. How times have changed. As the founder of Party4Health, Martiquet has organized more than 40 sober events, altogether attracting more than 1,500 participants in the past year. These have included bike raves, hike raves and undie runs—all of which have involved dancing in public, often in costume and sometimes in his underwear—without the benefit of liquid courage. Martiquet is part of a growing cohort of young people who are turning the tide on drinking culture.
