Grouse Grind to open for the season this Friday
The wait to climb mother nature’s stairmaster is finally over: the Grouse Grind trail at Grouse Mountain will reopen for hiking this Friday.
The trail’s initial opening hours this season will be from 6:15 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and these hours are managed with the gate that is manually unlocked and locked at the morning and evening of each day. During the fall months, the Grouse Grind opens and closes earlier due to shortening daylight.
Free Wi-Fi coming to Vancouver’s Yellow Cab fleet
TELUS announced today that it will be implementing free Wi-Fi for Yellow Cab taxis in Vancouver.
In the next few weeks, all 350 Yellow Cab taxis will have a TELUS logo, indicating free Wi-Fi can be received on either a laptop or smartphone inside the cab — no password required.
The deal between Yellow Cab and TELUS is a test-run planned to last for a year and “may be extended further if the program is successful.”
Canadian Underwater Hockey Championships in Vancouver this month
Underwater hockey? It is hockey and happens to be in water that is not frozen solid. And yes, it is a real sport gaining traction across Canada, to the extent that it has a critical mass and depth to sustain its own broad national championship.
The Canadian Underwater Hockey National Championships, organized by the Canadian Underwater Games Association, will take place in Coquitlam from May 15 to 17. The weekend-long competition will bring the nation’s best underwater hockey athletes to the Metro Vancouver region.
