The clipboard reads: Tortuga — GubGub. Marcas — G123839. Fecha — 15.03.2026. My partner and I named this one — a quiet tribute to a beloved feline companion, written now into the scientific record of a sea turtle’s life. Every turtle in care receives a name before the work begins, each one chosen by a...
Luxury travel is shifting toward something more thoughtful, more personal, and far more enduring than a checklist of destinations. Today’s most compelling journeys are those that invite travellers to slow down, reconnect, and move with purpose. Rather than following the expected routes, a new category of experiences is emerging, one defined by wellness, cultural depth,...
The Baja Expeditions panga has docked. The orange lifejacket is gone. The camp tents sit in a white row along the ridge, quiet and purposeful against the desert scrub and an almost aggressively blue Baja sky. The group has dispersed — back to the bar tent, back to the beach chairs, back to the particular...
Electronic music arrives in force in the Fraser Valley this spring as INSOMNIA Festival returns to the TradeX Centre in Abbotsford, BC on Saturday, April 4, 2026. Presented by OFF2 and Insomniac, the 2026 edition brings one of Western Canada’s most formidable dance music lineups to Greater Vancouver, headlined by global icon David Guetta alongside...
For Nadine Paulo, travel has never simply been about the destination. It has always been about the woman who arrives at it — changed, expanded, and more fully herself. After more than 15 years designing journeys for global operators, she saw something the industry kept missing: women were present in travel, but they were rarely...
Vancouver has never lacked ambition. What it has lacked, for too long, is a professional ballet company willing to claim the city as its permanent home and build something worthy of it. Ballet Vancouver has arrived to do precisely that. Founded in 2025 and rooted in a mandate to restore and revitalise the city’s access...
The Bacchanalia Gala Dinner + Auction, presented by National Bank Private Banking 1859, once again proved why it remains one of Vancouver’s most anticipated and elegant evenings of the year. Held on Saturday, March 7, at the historic Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, the celebrated gala marked the sparkling opening of the 47th Vancouver International Wine Festival,...
There are moments in travel when anticipation shifts into reverence. Standing before 30 Avenue Montaigne, that shift happens quietly. As Principal of Kalu Interiors, Aleem Kassam approaches spaces with a trained eye — attuned to proportion, materiality, and emotional architecture. Yet La Galerie Dior does not invite analysis first. It commands pause. The glass façade...
One does not arrive at Angela Grossmann’s studio by accident. The journey winds through hallways that shift from carpet to hardwood, up a step, down another, around corners that feel almost provisional, until an open door reveals her unmistakable red lipstick and welcoming smile. Dressed in a paint-marked smock and practical shoes, she stands wholly...
In November 2024, a Florentine master quietly stepped into Vancouver’s bespoke conversation. Italian shoemaker Mario Bemer travelled from Florence to Canada for client appointments and trunk show engagements, marking the first time a true Italian shoemaker of his standing had made the journey in an official capacity. For Bemer, the trip was not promotional theatre....
