Spring is arriving in Vancouver!
Spring is still a few weeks away, but Vancouver is already warming up!
Our lucky students never have to look far for something fun and different to do in the city, but this season is truly a special one in our town!
This week saw our school turn into a sea of “green” as students and teachers from many different cultural backgrounds adopted a little Irish spirit for St. Patrick’s Day! The spirit carried over well into the evening, with a fun and raucous pub night at one of Vancouver’s friendliest Irish pubs.
For those of us who can’t get enough of all things Irish (and Scottish!) CeltFest, a 4 -day spectacle of Celtic music, dance, film and storytelling, arrived downtown on the 16th and continues until Sunday. The green beer is going to flow!
Finally, it’s getting pretty close to cherry blossom time, something that everyone in Vancouver looks forward to. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival, celebrating the beauty of spring and Vancouver’s 37,000 gorgeous cherry trees, will be held from March 26-April 22 this year, and will include walking tours, concerts featuring musical traditions from around the world, a Sakura Days Japan fair and a haiku writing competition!
We hope our students will take advantage of the warmer weather and all the unique spring activities Vancouver has to offer!
