It's National Pasta Day, and for a weekend like this one, I bet you've been craving warm, comfort foods 🍝 ⁠
⁠
If yes, then what's better than visiting one of Vancouver's many Italian restaurants where you can replicate a cute Lady and the Tramp spaghetti and meatball moment? ⁠
⁠
We asked our culinary critic @floshe for his top 5 Vancouver Italian restaurants to transport you to Italy with, and he did not disappoint. Find out which ones made the list by visiting the link in our bio. ⁠

Meet Diana Choi - Our Vancouverite You Need To Mee

Meet Diana Choi - Our Vancouverite You Need To Meet⁠
⁠
Bored in Vanouver's Seymour met up with the co-founder and CMO of The Holistic Panda, Vancouver's first Asian-conscious Wellness platform for today's World Mental Health Day. ⁠
⁠
In Diana's own words "Mental health is still taboo in my culture and that motivated us to create an online platform that helps you find culturally competent health practitioners, for every type of wellness you can imagine. Our North Star is to help destigmatize mental wellness in the Asian culture and help this community find the mental wellness support they need."⁠
⁠
We got the lowdown on @theholisticpanda as well as Diana's top secret spots among Vancouver's neighbourhoods. Find out her 6-degree separation (it includes Lady Gaga) by reading her Q&A in our bio link.⁠

Tomorrow marks our first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This day commemorates all those impacted by Canada’s residential school system – the children lost, survivors and their families, and their communities. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
@vanartgallery will be hosting Xweýene:msta:m ?əkwəsqwel, seýeḿ (translation: call to witness / listen to respected one) on September 30th @ 12 pm. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This traditional Coast Salish performance highlights the ongoing tragedy of the lost children of Canada’s residential schools and the country’s missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It also offers a message of hope that allows the audience to bear witness to the strength and resilience of the Indigenous peoples of this land.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Special performances by @coastalwolfpack1, @mortalcoilperformance and @butterfliesinspirit ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This event is free and open to the public. Head to our bio for more event details 🔗⁠⁠

Did you know that Vancouver has over 4000 known caches? That’s one in every community! 😮⁠⁠
⁠⁠
With its increasing popularity and accessibility made possible by GPS-enabled cell phone maps, this is a game made for everyone.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Our contributor @wildfireeffect explains they’re playgrounds for the child at heart, and a great way to re-visit known locations and see them with a different perspective.⁠⁠
