Wednesday's mild and long—grab the daylight, Van, June 3.

Good morning. You've got a Wednesday that's soft and pleasant—18°C, mostly cloudy, and the sun's sticking around till 9:11 PM. That's real daylight to work with, so if you can slip out early, do it. UV's at 5.0, which is moderate; a quick sunscreen pass before you leave is all you need. No rain in the forecast, so you're good to skip the umbrella today.

A couple of transit heads-up before you commute: Stop 60783 on Oak at W 37 is closed today due to construction, so if you usually catch southbound there, reroute now. A few mechanical issues have also knocked out the 6:31 am 133 from Holdom, the 7:00 am 338 from Southbound 150 St, and the 7:17 am 338 from Southbound 177A St. Give yourself extra time if any of those are your regular ride.

On the local front: there's good news on the reforestation front—B.C. governments have planted 125 million trees in a major push, and that's the kind of long-game thinking the region needs. Meanwhile, a man's been charged in the January killing of Surrey businessman Binder Garcha, so that investigation's moving. And if you head to White Rock today, there's new outdoor fitness equipment just dropped—worth a look if you're in that neck of the woods.

For food, you've got options. Lucky's Doughnuts just landed on Canada's vegan shortlist, so if you're after something sweet and plant-based, that's worth the trip. If you want something more substantial, a few standout dishes are worth a detour this month around Van, and there are food events worth booking too if you're planning ahead.

Tonight's the move if you're after live music: Louis Tomlinson's at Pacific Coliseum at the PNE at 7:00 PM, or if that's not your speed, THE FIN's playing The Fox Cabaret at 7:30 PM with special guests, and Isobel Campbell's at The Pearl at 8:00 PM. All solid Wednesday bets. Come From Away's still running at Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage if theatre's more your vibe—1:00 PM matinee if you want to catch it this afternoon.

Light holds till 9:11 PM, so you've got time to move around. Enjoy the length of the day.
