Edgemont Village makeover? The District of North Vancouver is looking to draw up new design and development permit plans for the popular business area TODD COYNE S Ta f f R E p O RT E R

District Dialogue

February 7, 2013

Help refresh the plan for Edgemont Village

Register by February 12 to attend one of the upcoming Edgemont Village Community Workshops. For details visit www.identity.dnv.org.

District News FireSmart Vegetation Management The District will be undertaking a FireSmart Vegetation Management Program this spring in the forest areas adjacent to critical infrastructure and nearby residential homes in the Hyannis Park area. This public safety work is to protect the essential water supply reservoirs/pumping facilities and residential homes located in this wildland urban interface. For more information on this project, please visit www.dnv.org/wildfire.

Upcoming Community Workshops, February 16 and 19 Community Planning staff will be undertaking a collaborative review of the design guidelines and local plan for Edgemont Village. Help refresh the plan for the village! This community planning initiative is anticipated to occur over much of 2013 with many opportunities for public participation. What are design guidelines and local plans? Municipalities adopt design guidelines to help shape the form and character of buildings in a given area. Having such guidelines in place ensures future development harmonizes with the village’s distinctive character or “sense of place” and enhances the public realm and streetscape. In addition to design guidelines, a new village plan will include policies regarding things like housing, transportation, and amenities in the village. Get involved! An opening launch event is scheduled for Saturday, February 16, 10:00am-1:00pm, at Highlands Church (3255 Edgemont Blvd.), and will be repeated Tuesday, February 19, 6:00pm - 9:00pm at Highlands Church. We invite local residents to come out and help update the vision for the village. Please note that for convenience the same event format will be repeated on two occasions and participants need only attend one date. If you would like to attend one of these meetings, please pre-register by emailing identity@dnv.org and indicating which date you will attend. Please register by February 12. Visit identity.dnv.org for more information.

hat’s wrong with Edgemont Village? It’s a question some North Vancouver residents are asking after learning the District of North Vancouver hired an urban planning firm to explore new streetscape and architectural design principles for the quaint business centre. But before any worries abound over the loss of Edgemont Boulevard’s distinct red candy-cane lamp standards and laid-back café culture, residents can be assured they will have their say in the process every step of the way. That’s according to DNV policy planner David Hawkins and community development manager Susan Haid, who spoke with The Outlook shortly after the District inked a $12,000-design consulting contract with Vancouver-based Urban Forum Associates. The first phase of the 12-month project kicks off this month with a pair of community workshops geared to soliciting ideas from Edgemont residents and business owners about what changes they’d like to see afoot in the near term. Design amenities like better sidewalks, more retail space, a public square and redesigned alleyways are all fair game, according to Hawkins. “We’re calling it Edgemont Refresh,” Haid added. “We want to make sure that any change going forward is shaped in a manner that’s really consistent with a refreshed vision from the community.” Edgemont’s current community plan was hatched in 1999 and it has been responsible for retaining much of the village’s small-town charm since. That’s when the curled lampposts, wide boulevards and the colour red officially became de rigueur for the townsite. “The intent is not to go in and change those things,” Haid said. “It’s really looking at — going forward, when there are redevelopment

opportunities in the future — how do we ensure they’re all coordinated and consistent with the unique sense of place?” The consultation plan comes not a moment too soon, as the Grosvenor development group announced its plans last month to buy and redevelop the Edgemont SuperValu site. On March 11, Grosvenor will take ownership of the property and begin the process of up-zoning the site for a mixed-use building featuring a new grocery store in a retail podium topped with residential units. “Edgemont Village is a special place with a special character that we respect and admire,” James Patillo, senior vice-president and general manager of Grosvenor, said. Despite the future densification of the SuperValu site, Edgemont’s designation as a low-rise village centre won’t change, according to District staff. “Two of the first shops that opened in Edgemont in 1947; one was a café and one was a pharmacy,” Hawkins said. “So half a

century later we’ve got plenty of cafés but now there’s no pharmacy. So when we look to any redevelopment in Edgemont, if the community tells us that having a pharmacy is important, then that’s going to influence how we plan for retail space. “So,” he continued, “design guidelines operate on a number of levels.” Phase One of Edgemont Refresh kicks off with two community workshops at Highlands Church from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 16 and from 6 to 9 p.m. on Feb. 19.

there last week, the piece already has plenty of admirers. Out walking his yellow lab, Travis Lawrenuk, a young arborist-in-training, said this: “It’s interesting. You don’t see art pieces in North Vancouver parks too often. It stands out and it’s unique.” Pat Tupper, also out walking his dog, relishes having this piece of art in the park. “I think it’s wonderful. I notice it every time I come through here and [I’m] very happy to see it. Public art I love.” He says the piece, which has a shiny surface that reflects its surroundings, also changes with the seasons, like after a snowfall for instance. (It doesn’t glow as originally planned because at the new location there isn’t any evening pedestrian traffic and the cost to power it was too high.) Along with bringing an unexpected piece of art to Princess Park, the controversy initially created by Mirare in Deep Cove has had some other unintended and equally positive consequences. “Art has never been talked about so much — which is good. And it’s subjective. Everyone sees something different,” says Ian Forsyth, director of the Arts Office. When told about the piece’s somewhat controversial past and the dubious nickname once bestowed upon it, Lawrenuk seems surprised. He noticed the bark-like texture of the piece right away. “It’s pretty obviously a tree I think,” he says. twitter.com/justinbeddall

» COVER STORY

The Fuller’s recipe for West Coast casual dining Nearly three decades ago the Fuller family opened Earls on Marine Drive in North Van and introduced a new style of dining out that’s still influencing Vancouver’s food scene By MICHAELA GARSTIN

est Coast dining changed forever when Earls opened on Marine Drive 29 years ago. Pastel-coloured leather covered the booths. Chrome adorned chairs and decorative parrots hung from the ceiling. This quintessential ’80s look was an instant hit. The “Tin Palace” in North Vancouver was one of the first Earls to open, launching West Coast casual dining, a trend that’s become a fixture in the Lower Mainland. The chain was founded by Stan Earl Fuller and his father Leroy “Bus” Earl Fuller in the early 1980s. They built the first Earls in Edmonton, a beer-and-burger bar coated in green and white paint. North Van’s 2 Name that came soon after, minus the palm trees that Love Song have become its signaWhen a man loves a woman ture today. Can’t keep his mind on “The interest rates nothing else [in the early ’80s] were He’ll trade the world the highest in decades, For the good thing he’s found before or since,” exWhen a Man plains Stan Fuller at

his office near Capilano Mall. The down economy changed the way businesses were run, he says, and pushed some into the ground. “But people still had a real desire for a dining experience, not a fast-food experience.” The only place on the North Shore for casual but elegant dining was The Keg, then located on Lower Lonsdale, says Fuller. “[The Keg] was doing huge business because it offered steak at a reasonable price, so we decided to do sort of the same thing.” And with that, Earls was born. Back in the day, burgers were $3.25 and a pint of beer was just over a dollar. “It was ultra-’80s,” says Fuller, reminiscing about the opening of the North Van and downtown locations. “But we change the decor around every ten years to keep up with what people like.” It’s more than the ambiance, however, that’s changed at the benchmark restaurant. The menu includes Dungeness crab and asparagus linguini, Dominical fish tacos and baby calamari, offerings that are a far cry the beer-andburger joint’s humble beginning.

The Fuller family food empire

The Fuller Group of Restaurants began when Bus Fuller took a major risk. He moved his young family from Montana to Edmonton to open an A&W, a fast-food restaurant that was mostly unheard of back in the ‘50s. The retired refinery worker soon became Canada’s biggest franchisee. “My father borrowed $10,000 to move to Edmonton and open it up,” says Fuller, adding the family later founded Fuller Family Restaurants, which have since closed down. “Fuller Family Restaurants were more like Denny’s,” explains Fuller. “They were open 24 hours, and quite frankly they weren’t any fun [to run].” Then came the idea for Earls. Starting as The Green and White restaurant, the first Earls became a hit in Edmonton with a younger crowd that craved nachos, potato skins, burgers and lots of beer. Finally they had a place to eat that wasn’t too fancy or family-oriented. With one successful restaurant, the Fuller’s decided to move West to open Earls Tin Palace in North Van — “Tin” because it has a laid back atmosphere and “Palace” because it’s also a chic place to dine. (North Van’s Earls still has a tin ceiling today). “It was risky,” says Fuller. “But it paid off. We were confident because we were getting a great response. Everyone loved the concept that they could come in and connect with friends, and it’s affordable.” And pay off it did. The Fullers tapped into a void in the market that people were eagerly waiting to be filled. “It was the very first to have unique burgers, they were a step up,” remembers Nathan Fong, a food journalist who grew up in West Van. “It was one of the places to go.”

Today there are 64 Earls in Western Canada, Ontario, Washington and Colorado, raking in $250 million in revenue a year. The family, which includes brothers Jeff and Stewart, also owns 22 Joey Restaurants, the Saltlik Steakhouse and is a recent partner in The Beach House in West Vancouver. The three brothers, says Fuller, run each chain independently and are often in competition with each other. But the restaurants have similar concepts —casual but relaxed dining, West Coast-style food and friendly staff — all stemming back to the concepts launched by the original Earls three decades ago.

Branching out

West Coast casual is now the largest segment of sit-down dining, says Fuller. “Consistency of service and food quality is paramount,” he adds. “It’s no longer good enough to just use good ingredients.” From A&Ws to Fuller Family Restaurants to launching West Coast casual dining, the Fuller family has done it all, including helping out up-and-coming restau-

rateurs. When two long-term Earls employees, Richard Jaffrey and Scotty Morison, wanted to open their own restaurant they turned to Stan for advice and he agreed to personally invest, leaving his family out of it. Welcome the Cactus Club. Starting in North Van, the chain now has 16 restaurants in B.C., Alberta and Ontario. Even with a stake in the chain, Fuller says he is very much at arm’s length. Eventually Scotty Morison decided to go out on his own and founded Browns SocialHouse, opening in central Lonsdale, Lynn Valley and Park Royal Vil-

lage (now closed) and 12 other locations in B.C. and Saskatchewan. Food journalist Nathan Fong says the proliferation of chain restaurants in Vancouver can make it difficult for independent restaurants to compete, but there’s no denying the profound influence Earls and some of its offshoots have had on the local food scene. “We are very fortunate to have such a great culinary industry. It’s something to be very proud of, especially if you compare Vancouver with the rest of Canada.” Fuller echoes this sentiment, saying the Lower Mainland has the best, most affordable and freshest West Coast cuisine around. When Earls moved into North Van, the Fuller family wanted to attract a younger crowd, similar to their diners in Edmonton. “As it turns out we were after the young at heart, all ages come here,” he says. But some parents with young children have recently questioned just how welcome they are. Reported widely in the media, a Facebook post early last month drew wrath from some parents with young children who felt unwelcome at Earls due to its policy of not providing highchairs. But a more common backlash, says Fuller, used to come from diners who faced a crying baby nearby. “As we were getting more sophisticated, a lot of couples had left their young children at home or had raised their families,” he tells The Outlook. “A baby left screaming in a highchair can clear out an entire restaurant, and these diners won’t come back to us next time.” Cases like this show Earls 5 Name that has evolved from a burgerLove Song and-beer joint to a more The first time ever I saw sophisticated establishment. your face The concept will likely I thought the sun rose in continue to change with your eyes restaurants like Milestones, And the moon and the stars Rockford, Steamworks and were the gifts you gave Sammy J.

Recycling shakeup may end curbside pickup of glass

Stewards want jars and bottles to go to depots, not via blue box

JEFF NAGEL

urbside pickup of glass jars and bottles may be axed from a pending reform of the blue box recycling system, forcing households to take glass to depots instead. Members of Metro Vancouver’s zero

waste committee were dismayed when told by staff Thursday of the proposal by Multi Material BC to eliminate glass collection at curbside after the industry-led stewardship agency takes charge of the residential recycling system in mid-2014. “Whose idea was that?” demanded Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, the committee chair. “That’s going to be a big problem.” He and other mayors predict residents will just throw glass in the garbage if it’s no longer picked up from homes at curbside. “If people have to take their jars

to a depot, they’re just going to throw them away.” Multi Material BC chair Allen Langdon said curbside-collected glass

breaks and contaminates other higher value recyclables, such as newsprint, paper and plastics, degrading their value. “No decisions have been made, nothing has been finalized,” he said, adding Multi Material BC is taking comment on the proposed change to exclude glass until March 1. Langdon said most glass – about 71,000 tonnes a year province-wide – already makes its way to processing via depots because of refundable deposits. continued, NEXT PAGE

Only an estimated 2,500 tonnes of glass now gets picked up through blue boxes, he said. And he said the curbside-collected glass arrives too contaminated to be recycled into more glass – there is no glass-recycling plant in B.C. anyway – and typically is used only for road aggregate or cover at landfills. “If the glass is taken out, we actually think it will have a positive impact in helping us to recycle more material,” Langdon said. The Nanaimo and Central Okanagan regional districts already have depot-only glass drop off and don’t want to be forced to add it to curbside pickup programs. The change would be an advantage for Surrey, where residents are on

Its packaging stewardship program is the latest in the province’s efforts to make industry groups take back and deal with the waste they generate. Multi Material BC intends to offer collection contracts first to cities or local recycling societies that already do it. If they don’t accept the price the agency offers, it would seek other contractors, or set up its own fleet of trucks to pick up material. Cities have previously complained Multi Material BC’s system may supplant local blue box pickup programs without covering the historic costs of existing truck fleets and infrastructure.

curbside collection costs and save the industry group money – but at a cost to the environment. “They’re just high grading,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “They’re just trying to pick out what’s worth the most money out of the box.” Corrigan said the intent of the new system should be to maximize recycling, not focus on saving industry members money by cutting corners on usability. Multi Material BC, which includes retailers, grocers, restaurants and newspapers, is a non-profit agency charged by the province with formulating a stewardship plan to collect and recycle all types of packaging and printed materials – including everything that now goes in blue boxes plus package types not currently collected.

single-stream recycling. Homes there don’t sort recyclables but jumble them all in the same blue box and they’re sorted at a highly automated plant. Glass contamination of other materials is a bigger risk under such single-stream systems than in ones where residents separate streams, Langdon said, adding the switch would improve the amount and value of other material being recycled. Langdon said Multi Material BC takes no position on whether singlestream recycling is better, adding cities that act as contractors would be free to continue with either system. Critics say that because glass is one of the lowest value recyclables, a depot-only system that makes it harder for residents to return it will cut

Your child's first visit is important… we strive to make the experience fun and relaxing for everyone.

Dr. Gartner has been a Certified Specialist in Pediatric Dentistry since 1997. She is passionate about working with children and special needs individuals and is dedicated to continually improve the standard of care delivered to her patients.

Baby teeth are involved in eating, speech, holding space and guiding adult teeth into the correct position in the jaw. Oral health is linked to our children’s overall health. Poor oral health can lead to pain, swelling, disrupted sleep, poor concentration and learning as well as local and systemic (body) infections. Begin to practice good oral habits as soon as your child’s teeth erupt. These habits include flossing, brushing and eating healthy snacks. We believe that communication and education is important to good oral health. Introducing your child to the dentist by the age of one (or six months after the first tooth erupts), not only creates a good relationship with the dental team but it also promotes good oral habits that will last a lifetime. Your child’s first visit is important as it

forms the basis of our relationship. We work together with parents and guardians to obtain important information needed to provide excellent comprehensive dental care for your URGENT child. We strive to make this experience fun PROOF! and relaxing for everyone.

We will introduce your child to the dental Fall chair and2010 some instruments such as the “tooth counter” and “mirror”. For younger children a “lap to lap” examination may be suggested. Together you and the staff will be able to see into your child’s mouth and your child will feel safe in your arms.

How to make Valentine’s Day sweeter Where to buy some of the best treats on the North Shore Here is a list of some the best gifts in North and West Vancouver:

MICHAELA GARSTIN S tA f f R E p o Rt E R

ccording to one legend, Valentine’s Day stems back to the third century when a Roman emperor outlawed marriage after he decided single men made better soldiers than those with families. St. Valentine, realizing the unfairness of the order, continued to marry young couples in secret. When the emperor discovered this, St. Valentine was killed. Today, Valentine’s Day is a celebration of his death in February. Or, as others believe, the origin of Valentine’s Day goes back much further. They claim the Christian church decided to place the holiday in mid-February to draw attention away from a widely celebrated pagan fertility festival where young men would become paired with women for a year. These matches often resulted in marriage. Either way, Canadians have been celebrating Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14 since the early 1700s. The red heart-shaped box was invented in 1860 by Cadbury, starting the custom of giving chocolates to that special someone.

Great with a glass of wine

Cinnamon’s Chocolates makes these milk chocolate-covered strawberries on Feb. 13 and 14 every year for a lineup of customers that goes all the way out the door. Perfect to share on a romantic evening, warm chocolate seals the strawberry juice in and white chocolate is strung over top.

A classic detective story gets a musical twist Holmes & Watson Save the Empire! premieres Feb. 27 in North Van MICHAELA GARSTIN S tA f f R E p o Rt E R

nce again the fate of the British Empire lies in the hands of the greatest crimefighting team in literature. But this time there’s a twist. The two-man musical Holmes & Watson Save the Empire! chronicles the faithful friends who have until midnight to solve the fiendish Moriarty’s deadly puzzle. With comedic twists and turns and more than one song along the way, the best buddies do everything to prevent a royal assassination. Written by Arthur Conan Doyle, the fictional detective story was first published in 1887 and quickly became a classic. “All CSI shows take their cue from Holmes and Watson. It’s the first forensic investigation story,” says Damon Calderwood, who plays Sherlock Holmes in the play, which runs at Deep Cove’s Shaw Theatre from Feb. 27 to March 16. Calderwood grew up in North Vancouver and started acting while at Queen Mary elementary with a role in Charlie Brown. “We have a nice variety of music from beautiful ballads to silly songs and everything in between,” he tells The Outlook while flipping through the script.

Holmes and Watson must save England, but along the way important questions pop up: What is Victoria’s secret? How did Holmes end up on the Gaiety Music Hall stage? Who is the mysterious Nightingale of Nuremburg? And why is Watson wearing her dress? Calderwood and Gordon Roberts, who plays Watson, aren’t new to two-man shows. They created Chaps!, Dogpark and They Came From Way Out There, taking some plays on the road. The veteran actors have each been in around 50 musicals. “It’s very tongue-in-cheek and one of a kind,” says Calderwood, singing sections of his favourite songs. “Watson and I even have a duet.” The family-friendly play runs Feb. 27 to March 16 Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Deep Cove Shaw Theatre at 4360 Gallant Ave., North Vancouver. Tickets are $18 for adults and $16 for seniors and students. Call 604-929-9456 or go to firstimpressionstheatre. com.

as the main thrust of the whole rec centre redesign. But Mayor Darrell Mussatto called the 50-metre pool idea “too expensive” for the city to operate without help from the districts of North Vancouver or West Vancouver. “This is really a recreation centre designed by a committee,” Coun. Guy Heywood said, dismissing the plans. “We haven’t even talked about the incremental costs when you put an administration building on a bridge above 23rd Street. That has to cost the project a lot more and we have stuck them there just because we couldn’t bring ourselves to offend any of the various sacred cows that are haunting this precinct and preventing common sense.” Council agreed to defer the rec centre discussion until Jan. 1, 2014. But it was just a precursor to a wider debate about the city’s policy on density bonusing, or as Coun. Heywood put it, on how the city tries to “buy virtue” from density-driven developers. The debate would end with council voting 6-1, with Mayor Mussatto opposed to spending $45,000 to hire an outside consultant to study the city’s density bonusing policy. “I think the city has done extremely well by the past density bonusing and what we’ve been able to achieve,” Mussatto said, defending the status quo. “I think the challenge lies not in that we don’t have the right process, it’s that it’s complex.” Coun. Pam Bookham also rejected the idea of hiring a consultant to essentially remind councillors what they already know, but warmed to the idea after trying to amend the terms of the vote to include a temporary policy of taking cash from developers in place of any community amenities, until the city’s policy is resolved. “We should be taking cash in-lieu of amenities on major projects and I would like to move that as an amendment,” Bookham said. “We know we need to find the capital to fund our cultural facilities, our recreation facilities and

North Shore Neighbourhood House, and we need to start planning for that now.” But while Coun. Rod Clark agreed, saying “Cash is king,” Couns. Don Bell and Craig Keating pointed out that money isn’t always the most transparent or cost-effective amenity a developer can offer, especially if their development is already atop a desired amenity site. Gary Penway, the city’s director of planning agreed, saying that demanding cash in lieu of amenities for either Onni’s 13th Street and Lonsdale development or for Concert’s Harbourside plans, would be equivalent to slamming the door on either project. “There’s a variety of reasons you may want to not take cash — you don’t have to build it, you don’t have to provide a site for it, the applicant takes those tasks on and delivers a site for you,” Penway said. “Cash-only eliminates a wide range of... benefits that you’ve achieved over the years.” At Harbourside, for instance, Concert is looking for added density to build more marketrental housing, something the city needs and could not themselves build more affordably with a cash-in-lieu payment, Penway added. As for the Onni amenities, it can be tough, if not impossible, to quantify and monetize the values of things like eco-design and daycare space. And it’s not something Onni has any interest in doing, Penway said. After much debate, the temporary cash-only idea was watered down to a mere commitment that, until the completion of the consultant’s report, the city would at least consider taking cash in lieu of project amenities — an arrow council already had in its quiver prior to the lengthy debate. Still, Coun. Bookham was steadfast in asking that Onni show council the money. “I hope that we will get cooperation from them that they will be willing to provide cash in lieu of those amenities that have been under discussion,” she said. “And if not, well we’ll see how the vote goes at the public hearing.”

FAMILY DAY 2013

Share together ■ Bringing together your extended family can create a highly memorable and valuable life event. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and many would agree especially in today’s world of working parents and latch-key kids. The support, experience and interest of your extended family can have a significant impact on your immediate family. Regardless of your definition of ‘extended’ family, bringing together those with whom you share history with can have lasting benefits not just for you and your children but for those you invite to share your day. It is common in today’s world to have older children in nuclear families reach their teens before meeting extended family members. Geographical isolation is common for middle-class families who move based on occupational opportunities while family branches retain their independence. Family Day is the ideal occasion to hold family reunions to re-establish and integrate a stronger family connection. This allows your children to connect with extended family members and to share a better sense of their heritage and belonging. Don’t forget to include senior members of your family. Family reunions and relationships inspire seniors to stay active and pursue their well-being. Studies have found seniors feel revitalized when they spend time with families. Your children will benefit from hearing their oral history and that’s an inspiring experience that won’t always be available to them. Another way to celebrate Family Day is to gather your extended family and friends around something you care about. It might be a shore clean-up, a family walk or a garage sale. You might volunteer at a foodbank. Food is often central to gatherings and with everyone contributing to a family meal afterwards, it becomes a great way to share B.C.’s first Family Day.

FAMILY DAY 2013

Experience as a Family ■ Try something new this Family Day. It might be as simple as agreeing that everyone observe a no-technology or TV day. If you find your gatherings often involve all the adults sitting around visiting while the youngsters play among themselves and the teens segregate away from both you and the little ones, you’re probably not alone. A family gathering can be a wonderful opportunity for family to hear the latest on jobs, trips, hobbies and health, but if you find your gatherings following the same tedious patterns where one or two family members dominate with the same old stories, this is the year to change it up. Consider adding new experiences to the plans, and making a new and fun tradition out of them. Here are some ideas to get started: Get out and enjoy our beautiful outdoors – no matter what your weather. If you live in a snowy region of B.C., organize a hayride, snowshoe trek, sledding time or ice skating at a community rink. If you don’t have snow in your area, you can travel to find it or consider planning a bike ride, a hike or even hitting a minigolf course or a driving range. The idea is to bring everyone together in a family activity you’ve never done before.

Play together

a new menu together but everyone in your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. B.C. has a widely diverse cultural make up and ethnic restaurants are part of that.

favourite puzzle out and spend hours putting together the pieces. Finishing a complicated puzzle will also give your kids a sense of accomplishment. If you’re looking for something a bit more high-tech, your game console or computer is a good place to start. Video games have come a long way from the classic Super Mario and Donkey Kong, and you may discover that your kids have a much larger technical knowledge than you do. They might beat you at Wii Sports but it will make for a great story! Getting outside for a game of tag or basketball will check off two things on your list: play and exercise. Taking a trip to a local playground or field will give you hours of entertainment for a low cost. Pack a picnic as well for an entire day of fun. Practicing your batting or pitching will also get you ready for the upcoming sports seasons, or maybe compete to see who can run the fastest to the swings. This year, Family Day is a time to make memories, spend time together and maybe learn a thing or two. Whatever the weather is like outside, you have plenty of options for having fun at all ages.

■ There is nothing like the fun and innocence of childhood. Whether it’s a game of kick-the-can with the neighbourhood children or building a tree fort in the backyard, some of our best memories are playful. Board games are a great indoor activity, and Family Day is a great time to dig out some of your old favourites like Monopoly and Clue, and maybe try out a few new ones that are geared towards family fun. Your local toy store will have a wide range of options, along with other family-friendly entertainment such as puzzles and books. Set up a card table, get your

Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to enjoy, from winter outdoor fun to refreshing spa services. Think of how much fun it would be for your whole family group to take a yoga class together. Host a family talent show – Everyone has a special talent in your family, so encourage them to bring their talent to your gathering. If you’re really ambitious set up an area to be used as a stage and arrange chairs for audience members. Many living rooms have dimmer switches so play with lighting and lamps so the performance area is in the spotlight. You might want to rent a popcorn machine or ask family members to bring along some treats and snacks. By bringing new activities to your family gathering this year, you’ll be creating many new memories to share in the future, as well as making the event much more enjoyable.

Plan a meal away from the house – Instead of cooking for the gathering, plan a formal brunch or dinner at a new restaurant. Not only do you experience

FAMILY DAY 2013

Cook together ■ If you ask any adult about some of their favourite memories of childhood, you will invariably hear something related to food. Whether it’s baking with Grandma or grilling hamburgers for a cookout with Dad, cooking is always an important part of growing up. Family Day is a great time to dig out those family cookbooks and try a recipe handed down by the older generation. Your mom’s famous meatloaf or your uncle’s recipe for spinach dip are great things to try with family members of

all ages. Maybe you’re looking to make something you’ve never made before, or perhaps you want to try out a new cuisine. Hitting the library or the web will give you ideas for new recipes, whether it’s trying to duplicate your favourite takeout pizza or make an authentic spicy Indian dish. Let each member of the family choose a recipe that they want to try, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. That way everyone gets involved and has their say in what the family eats. Maybe you’ll find a new favourite food or discover that your child is aiming to become the next Mario Batali or Julia Child. Your local grocery store is sure to have a wide selection of ingredients that you may never have tasted before. Wandering the aisles may even spark your imagination. Learning about what goes into a dish will set your family on the road to healthy eating. Taking a few minutes to read the labels on a food item will demonstrate how to make healthy choices and help your children in the future. Finding healthy alternatives to not-so-healthy foods can be a fun experiment, and may end up being tastier than the original food. Many stores will have sections devoted to healthier options, whether they’re gluten-free or just lower in calories.

Enjoy your time TOGETHER on BC

Family Day!

Learn together ■ Having a day off from school doesn’t mean learning stops for the day. There are plenty of educational things you can do in British Columbia, whether in your own home or outside. How about starting with a trip to your local library? It will hold plenty of books on any topic that you can imagine. Maybe a book of science experiments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will stoke your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of options if your child can’t bear to part with his or her new favourite book. A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether it’s Chinatown or Steveston fishing village, there is a ton of history right in your own backyard. Most places will have a museum or heritage building around that can serve as a jumping-off point for learning more about the city where you live. Learning can be more than just reading though. Pull out the laptop and get your kids to type out an email to a family member or friend outside of B.C. Perhaps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library! Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if it’s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwriting.
