I paid a visit to the Aboriginal Pavilion in downtown Vancouver as well
as the Bill Reid Gallery and the
Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre up in Whistler where they received a
surprise visit from the Governor General of Canada Michaelle

I was amazed at the incredible artwork and carvings, the intricate detail and the dedication of the craftsmen. Everyone I met was had a wealth of knowledge and passion for sharing their culture.

BC Field Reporter Chris Wheeler meets up with a Tourism British
Columbia Twiiter contest winner during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.
Together they climb 140 feet to the top of the zip line tower and rip
over 550 feet across Robson Street! There is so much happening in
Robson Square from live shows and ice skating to zipping high above
cheering crowds over Vancouver's iconic downtown core! During the 2010
Olympic Winter Games, this landmark public space is serving as the
Province of British Columbia's signature venue to showcase the many
wonders of this province, and act as prime celebration site. You Gotta

One of the longest dragons in North America, at 100-metres, highlighted Chinese New Year celebrations in Richmond, BC. Huge crowds of all nationalities were wowed by the dragons, cultural dancing, Tai Chi demonstrations and more. A high-flying lion dance was a spectacular delight and something you have to see to believe. The day was filled with fun, entertainment and great food! It finished off with a concert by the hottest band out of Taiwan, F.I.R and some amazing fireworks! What a way to ring in the year of the tiger!

I started down at Stanley Park in Vancouver and then took a drive over the Lions Gate Bridge and then up to the Sea to Sky Highway. It was amazing, I stopped at a few of the towns alongs the way and checked out some of the viewpoints and attractions that line the highway. The weather turned on me just as I reached Squamish and the incredible massive of the Stawamus Chief but the mountain peaks were still visible through the clouds! Beautiful drive!
