It’s easy to be green in Vancouver over the holidays—and all year round. Here are some ways to do your part for sustainability in the city this festive season.
Comics in Transit is an ongoing project that takes one-page comic stories, enlarges them, and installs them in bus shelters for people to read on their daily commute.
Each series features artwork based around a theme, often leaning towards education and social issues. In 2017, Comics in Transit featured stories told by refugees about their journeys to Canada. This year, the project focusses on Indigenous family histories. Throughout October, bus shelters will display the comics. But those who are interested can get a sneak peek on Sept. 26 at an exhibition of the work at Red Gate Arts Society (1965 Main St.). Find out more below.

From Grouse Mountain to Deep Cove’s Quarry Rock and a few other options in between, it’s easy to escape into nature with just the price of a bus ticket.
However, despite being so close to Vancouver, most provincial parks in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor have no transit options available. If you want to access the jaw-dropping beauty of Garibaldi, you’re going to have to rely on a car to get you there – until now!
Parkbus Vancouver will be piloting a new direct connection to Gaibaldi, Alice Lake, Shannon Falls, and Stawamus Chief Provincial Parks from Vancouver for two days only on August 20 and September 10. This is your chance to escape to the wild for a day of adventure, just a short bus ride from Vancouver!
