The Stylist Who Is Ready to Talk: Michelle Addison Goes Independent

Fifteen years ago, Michelle Addison walked into The Room at Hudson’s Bay with a pitch and talked her way into a personal shopping job. She was in her early thirties, already a working actor, and had been running a small personal styling business on the side. That single pitch grew into a career across three...

Holborn’s Visionary Silhouette For Vancouver: What Georgia + Abbott Means For The City’s Skyline

Vancouver has never lacked for views. What it has lacked, until now, is a single address built to command every one of them. Holborn‘s newly approved Georgia + Abbott development changes that equation entirely, introducing a 315-metre hotel tower that will stand as the tallest structure in Western Canada and, in time, the point of...

A Seat at Every Table: Inclusive Dining at Dockside Restaurant

Dockside’s culinary team draws on fresh, local, and seasonal West Coast ingredients layered with multicultural influences, a style that suits a restaurant perched at the edge of Granville Island, with the Public Market close enough that the kitchen restocks daily from a few metres away. That proximity can be recognized in everything that leaves the...

Inside a Penthouse Stay at Granville Island Hotel: Five Minutes From Everything

Stand at the entrance to the Public Market, surrounded by tourists hauling armfuls of dahlias and warm sourdough, and Granville Island Hotel is nowhere in sight. No towering signage, no valet circus, no line of idling town cars or car share queues. Walk five minutes along the water and the noise falls away, replaced by...

The Discipline Behind the Grace: Chan Hon Goh’s Next Act

Chan Hon Goh has spent four decades chasing a single standard: excellence that never stops moving. Long before her recent appointment, she was a child in a Vancouver studio, absorbing correction after correction with a focus that set her apart even then. “When I reflect on what it means to become Vice President of the...

Danny Singer: The Main Street Project x A Prairie Vision

Danny Singer photographs the entire main streets of small prairie towns. Not a building here, a storefront there, but the whole street, stitched together from as many as one hundred and fifty sequential images into a single seamless panorama. Every structure is shot straight on. No angle, no drama, no cheating the perspective. The effect...

Paradise Events Presents: A Day of Everything They Chose Together

Some love stories begin with a spark. Theirs began with a gift exchange. Serena and Li met in 2010, when Serena’s grandmother sponsored Li, then a high school student, to come to Canada. Their families became close, and at every birthday and holiday that followed, the parents settled on a simple system for exchanging gifts...
