Killer whales off Vancouver island

By Jonathan + June 29th, 2007

Vancouver convention centre to be…

By Jonathan + June 24th, 2007

They have the frame of the new convention centre built now. I can’t wait to see this thing! It’s going to have a “living”/grass roof so it’s going to look like a grassy field…with a convention centre under it
