INTERNeX Canada: HiGHLiGHTS of the week Ep. 8/2013

We would like to present the episode number 8 of HiGHLiGHTS of the week.

As you can see in our picture of the week, last Saturday we went to the Queen Elizabeth Park and Mercedes,Clara and more people jumped into the fountain to play there. We also saw the flower garden and the lookout.

And last Wednesday for our weekly PuB NiGHT we went to the Blarney Stone in Gastown, one of our favorite pubs in town. We spend an amazing time there and we also could watch the Global Relay Grand Prix  . Thanks for coming and joining us!

This week Clara show us some interesting things about the history of the beautiful  Gastown and also the Global Relay Race in the INTERNeX Explorer.

This weekend, we are going to the Khatsalano Music Festival, the  Vancouver’s bigggest free outdoor music event. Join our event on Facebook.

And that’s all for today. I wish you a great weekend and see you soon!

Best,

Mercedes

INTERNeX Canada: What to do on the weekend.

One Thursday more…and one weekend more is coming ! Let’s talk about some interesting activities for you.

This Saturday, we are going to Queen Elizabeth Park, located at the geographic centre of Vancouver, at the junction of Cambie Street and West 33rd Avenue.

Full of colors and different flowers,this 52 hectare  park is one of the most beautifully maintained public parks in the world. Second only to Stanley Park in annual visits, it receives nearly six-million people a year.

We can find a lot of interesting things there such as:

  • Quarry Gardens: specimen trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and annuals selected for their foliage, form and flowers. A stream and cascading waterfall
  • Dancing Waters: the famous fountain is comprised of 70 jets of water using 85,000 litres of recirculating water.
  • Arboretum: Canada’s first civic arboretum. The first plantings were done in 1949. The larger trees are about 60 years old. Among these is the coast redwood, which can grow to be one of the tallest trees in the world.
  • Rose Garden:was built in 1967 to commemorate Canada’s Centennial. It contains many rose varieties.
  • Sculptures: The park’s most famous is Knife Edge-Two Piece by Henry Moore. There are also four sculptures by Cameron Kerr in the plaza.

This is just some of the things we can do in Elizabeth Park, in Vancouver. You can also play tennis, basketball, rolley hockey and much more.

I hope you come with us. Join us in our Facebook event !

Best,

Mercedes
