Basically, I’m talking about a few true dance clubs — quite hip, mind you — plus a good supply of live music venues (where the city shines), and bars and pubs with char- acter. You also find a decent slate of theater offerings. In fact, in an effort to support the performing arts, the tourism folks have developed an entire entertainment season (a.k.a. fall and winter), and Yaletown’s been dubbed the city’s “entertainment district” because of its proximity to many event venues. Where should you go to find nightlife? Dance clubs increasingly litter the Yaletown, Robson Street, and downtown districts, while Kitsilano is more a place for an organic brew or a glass of wine. More upscale areas, such as South Granville and the West End, offer the sorts of bars where you may want to wear a jacket or at least shuck your sneakers — places where a drink can cost more than a meal sets you back in other parts of town. Finally, strip joints have long been fixtures on the fringes of down- town, Yaletown, and East Hastings — not that you were thinking of going to one ofCOPYRIGHTED those.

  • Press Kit Falling Angels
    Falling Angels A film by Scott Smith Based on the novel by Barbara Gowdy With Miranda Richardson Callum Keith Rennie Katherine Isabelle RT : 101 minutes 1 Short Synopsis It is 1969 and seventeen year old Lou Field and her sisters are ready for change. Tired of enduring kiddie games to humour a Dad desperate for the occasional shred of family normalcy, the Field house is a place where their Mom’s semi-catatonic state is the result of a tragic event years before they were born. But as the autumn unfolds, life is about to take a turn. This is the year that Lou and her sisters are torn between the lure of the world outside and the claustrophobic world of the Field house that can no longer contain the girls’ restless adolescence. A story of a calamitous family trying to function, Falling Angels is a story populated by beautiful youthful rebels and ill-equipped parents coping with the draw of a world in turmoil beyond the boundaries of home and a manicured lawn. 2 Long Synopsis Treading the fine line between adolescence and adulthood, the Field sisters have all but declared war on their domineering father. Though Jim Field (Genie and Gemini winner Callum Keith Rennie ) runs the family house like a military camp, it’s the three teenaged daughters who really run the show and baby-sit their fragile mother Mary, (Two-time Oscar ® nominee Miranda Richardson) as she quietly sits on the couch and quells her anxiety with whiskey. It’s 1969 and beneath suburbia’s veneer of manicured lawns and rows of bungalows, the world faces explosive social change.

He was no longer entitled to use the term "curator" in his title. He was now officially "gardener II" in the Park Board hierarchy. In The Friend’s Newsletter, The Fringed Gentian™ Vol 15 No.1 Jan 1967, Martha Crone would write: “When the first snowflakes begin to fall, silent and soft, is a time to be brought together around the open fireside for relaxation.” “Indoors the frosty landscapes on the window panes are much enjoyed, while outside snowdrifts like white tents are heaped everywhere. Winter in its deepest snow speaks always of the spring not far behind. The door swings shut on another year and it opens again on a new year. Each season seems to reach a peak and end.” She also writes of the strange antics of the Fox Sparrow: “Your editor had the rare occasion of observing a flock of Fox Sparrows along the North Shore of Superior. During the middle of October, they had just arrived from further north and were stopping to feed for a few days. They were very timid and easily disturbed; a slight rustle and they were gone. However, watching them from my window, they little suspected that anyone was near. During their The Garden Office in Winter.
