Your New West Approved Rain Guide

Don't let the rain dampen your spirits!

With a rainy forecast ahead for New West, you may be stumped on just how to spend your precious days of freedom. So long, day spent on the pier.

But wait just a second. Aren’t you a local of Metro Vancouver, one of the rainiest regions in the world? Weren’t you practically born to excel in the rain, to use it to your advantage?

I know what you’re thinking…being warm and dry trumps any other argument. Hey, at least we tried! With that in mind, check out our favourite ways to enjoy the rainiest days New West has to offer:

For the young New Wester:

Why not spend your morning at The Fraser River Discovery Centre, uncovering artifacts and reliving the Gold Rush? Entry is by donation- bonus!

For the trendy New Wester:

The Sixth Street Pop Up and Gallery has a beautiful exhibit for this weekend only! Laudem Deo is a South African brand that has just planted its roots in Canada. With stunning and affordable pieces, this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss!

For the otherworldly New Wester:

Space_, the current exhibit at The New Media Gallery, is out of this world. You may even get a chance to feel like astronauts do in space, but that’s all I’m authorized to say…

For the energetic New Wester:

There’s nothing better than working up a sweat in cold weather, and Hot Yoga New West is the perfect opportunity to do just that. You’ll leave feeling warm, flexible, and happy, which sounds like a SWEAT deal to us!

For the film buff New Wester:

End your day by catching a flick at Landmark Cinemas. With cartoons to dramas to comedies on this weekend at Landmark, you’re sure to find the perfect fit!

If you’re not feeling up to anything so strenuous (we feel you), check out the coziest places in New West to curl up out from the rain. Be sure to let us know what you get up to!
