Last Sunday I visited Vancouver's Anglican Christ Church Cathedral for the first time, to attend an evening Compline service, a Gregorian Chant. It was a calming and relaxing conclusion to the weekend and the beautiful music in a beautiful setting was appreciated.

An interesting note: For runners participating in this weekend's 10-km Sun Run who are looking for some spiritual preparation at the start line, The Cathedral is offering a special 8am service on Sunday. No promises on a faster finish time but angel wings might help carry you the distance!

This was built for the Olympics and is definitely going to become a tourist destination for Vancouver.  It sits next to Canada Place which was built for Expo 86.  This new building boasts the best view in the city of the North Shore, the Burrard Inlet and the mountains.  You can tour the building as a tourist and see the 6-acre living roof, the clean wooden halls and more.  Or check out my video for an overview.
