My husband and l are coming to Canada for a white Xmas 2012. Staying in Vancouver for 6 nights, Banff 9 nights, Fernie 21 nights, Calgary 6 nights then it will be time to come back to Australia. We need good ski gear – can anyone tell us where in Vancouver we can get them please. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Declan,

Thanks for your faith in us!

The Flag Walk uses flag decals of the 80 countries participating in the 2010 Winter Olympics to connect the commercial areas of Yaletown and South Granville. (In other words, follow the flags from Yaletown shops across the bridge to South Granville’s shopping.) Our blogger Claudia does a fantastic job explaining the flag walk here.

What is this thing called flag walk that I keep seeing posted places that has something to do with South Granville? I thought if anyone knew about, it might be you. Thanks, Decs

Lisa, I love your tips! I actually haven’t tried Salade de Fruit; I’ll have to give it a go. Thanks!

I agree that South Granville is great!
Cross the street at 7th Avenue to Starbucks, Chali Rosso Gallery,(Picasso,Dali etc) Panache Antiques & Art,(Old Dutch masters to Lichtenstein. Also European and Asian antiques.) and Ian Tan Gallery with local artists. Also Salade de Fruit restaurant on 7th is a worthwhile and fun experience.

Thanks, D. Wise!

And thanks for leaving your own favourites! I love all of those shops too, especially Country Furniture. They have some remarkable Canadian antiques in there.

I’ll add a few Broadway & Granville favourites of mine: Oscar’s Art Books (amazing, amazing collection of everything from classic painting to uber-modern graphic design) and the Book & Comic Emporium–Vancouver’s oldest used bookstore–at 1539 W. Broadway.
