Queen Elizabeth Park

Park · Riley Park-Kensington

"Built in on a former quarry 500 feet above sea level, the 130-acre Queen Elizabeth Park is the highest vantage point in Vancouver, with extraordinary views that extend to the North Shore Mountains and beyond. But there’s more to Queen E, as locals call it, than just the vistas. With manicured lawns and impeccably groomed flowering plant beds, the gardens are the main draw. There's also the Bloedel Conservatory, an exotic plant and bird arboretum contained within a geodesic dome, and Seasons in the Park Restaurant, a destination dining spot." - Jennifer Van Evra

LIVIA Forno e Vino

Bakery · Grandview-Woodland

Livia is our family business run by husband and wife duo Claire Livia Lassam and Jordan Pires. It's named after Claire's beloved Nona, Livia, who was an extraordinary baker, grandparent, and who was filled with more joy than most people ever get to see. It's also a community business, one nestled into the place that we live, and it's the place we want to go to. It's open for beautiful coffee and lovingly made pastries in the morning, bustling for Italian leaning breakfasts and lunches, and into the evenings on weekends for wine and handmade pasta. We hope you love it, because we really do.
