CBC Musical Nooners -Kylee Epp
For four years CBC in Vancouver has presented the CBC Musical Nooners. Each weekday throughout the summer musicians hold a concert in the CBC outdoor plaza at 700 Hamilton.
Today the musician showcased was Kylee Epp. She sang wonderfully and her band did an excellent job as well. I sat with my wife having a nice picnic lunch enjoying the sun, music and ambiance along with many others.
This is a great free must see event in Vancouver.

Vancouver Broadway and Commercial city Planning Meeting
On July 6th the city organized a community planning forum for the area around Broadway and Commercial Drive. This meeting came from the uproar by the residents of this area over the city's proposed three high rises in the area.
I must say I'm impressed that the city took a step back and sought the input from the residents. The meeting/workshop had over 90 in attendance. Each table discussed and planned what the future would look like. The four hour meeting produced interesting and unique input.
Some ideas included covering some parts of the Cut for housing and parkland, and putting some lower high rise towers in strategic areas.
We'll see what comes of this.

Belgian Fries on The Drive gets a bad rating!
Belgian Fries usually doesn't disappoint. Today must have been an off day for them. I had paid for my bill which included two dipping sauces but I only received one. I had fight for it and when they acknowledged their mistake I still had to fight to have someone get me the sauce.
Too bad for them. They have lost my business for now. Such unprofessionalism is totally wrong!

Voices Together at Rogers Arena
Being Canada Day my family and had a slow start to the day which was very nice. The weather was totally cooperating with highs around 27 degrees. In the afternoon we went to Rogers arena to be part of the first Voices Together.
This was an event that had many different Christian faiths represented in the audience. The theme was to Lift High the Name of Jesus. With so many different Christian churches represented the emphasis was on what they have in common...being Jesus.
Attending this was unique for me because I often shy away from such large gatherings. I was surprised at how well it was done. It appealed to the young and the old church goer. With some 10,000 plus in attendance I think this will grow. Looking forward to the next one.
