Did you know that Vancouver's climate is considered oceanic or marine west coast and its summer months are dry (mostly dry). The average July high temperature is 21 C. The winters in Vancouver are usually rainy and the average low temperature in January is 5 C.
The truth be told we have tons of rain in the winter time. Our consolation is that we don't get much snow. I guess that will have to do!

Are You Transit Ready?
All Metro Vancouver transit users need to be transit ready this year. Translink has finally stepped up fare enforcement on the Skytrains and Buses.
Transit Police and now also Transit Security will hand out tickets for fare evaders. These tickets are enforceable by collection agencies and are tied to car insurance. If a fare evader does not pay the ticket then he/she cannot renew their insurance.
The new turnstiles at Skytrain stations will be operational by 2013. The new fare system along with the increased fare enforcement will have some glitches but will save the taxpayer money in the long run.
Make sure you're Transit Ready.
