Spring is finally here, and we are happy to embrace it. Spring means the beginning of a joyful and colourful season since temperatures begin to rise during March, April, and May, hovering between 7˚C-15˚C during the day and decreasing to around 5˚C at night, allowing us to do more outdoor activities during Spring Break, weekends or whenever we get a chance.
It’s time to dress in light layers, but always keep in mind that this is Raincouver, so it’s a good idea to carry your umbrella just in case. A good pair of comfy walking shoes are also a must since our city is a great place to explore on foot.

Exploring Vancouver’s diverse neighbourhoods is a great way to spend the day. Grab a coffee and wander downtown areas such as Yaletown, the beachside West End, or the historic Gastown.
Whistler, the world-class ski destination, is just two hours from downtown Vancouver, and the season usually runs through April, with Blackcomb Mountain offering spring skiing through mid-May. Even if you don’t ski, attractions like the Peak2Peak gondola linking the two mountains and the lively, walkable village make it worth a visit. Also, Victoria makes for a lovely day trip at this time of year, showing off some beautiful scenery on our way there on Ferry.
