Clear Sunday before the long weekend — get outside while it lasts.
10 degrees, no rain, and live music across the city tonight. Perfect timing.
Clear skies this morning, 10 degrees, and you've got a solid 11 hours of daylight to work with before sunset at 6:31 PM. UV's a mild 3, so you can move around without worrying. Get out of the house—it's one of those Sundays where the weather actually cooperates.
Nothing major jamming up your Sunday drive, but if you're heading out Monday morning, just know the 23 and 2 Burrard will be running detours from 8 to 10 AM for a special event. Same window, same deal—just rerouting through different streets. Not a huge headache, but good to clock it if you're an early mover.
Locally, the B.C. Lions just wrapped up their playoff spot with a clean 41-20 win over Ottawa at BC Place, so that's done and dusted. Trevor Randle, a culinary teacher out in Maple Ridge, picked up the Prime Minister's Award—worth a quiet congratulations if you know the name. And if you've been wondering about AnnaLena downtown, it just became Vancouver's first two-Michelin-star restaurant, which is the kind of thing worth remembering when someone asks for a special dinner spot.
For eating, Burdy's chicken parm sandwich bus opened a proper restaurant over on Granville Island if you're keen on that whole scene. And if you haven't caught that Bayside Lounge is closing at month's end after 47 years in the West End, might be a moment to swing by before it's gone—that's a real local institution. On the Vine's got a feature on the 2025 Okanagan wines if you're thinking about bottles today.
Tonight's got some proper music on. The Menzingers are at The Pearl with Hot Water Music and Weakened Friends at 7 PM if that's your lane—solid bill. Fruit Bats are over at the Commodore at the same time, and Gaurav Kapoor's doing comedy at the Vogue if you want to laugh instead. Weather's holding clear, so there's no excuse to sit home—get out to a venue.
If you're into junior hockey, the Delta Ice Hawks play Port Coquitlam at 4 PM out in Port Coquitlam if that's on your radar.
Long weekend's three days away. Use today to reset, eat something good, catch some live sound. You've earned it.
