Yarrr… International “talk like a pirate day” isn’t until September 19th (seriously), but you can feel like a pirate on Wednesday, August 14, 2019, for White Spot Restaurant’s annual ‘Adult Pirate Pak’ day!

This annual event not only gives you the chance to feel young again by eating out of a paper pirate ship, but it is also an excuse to give back to an amazing cause.

For the uninitiated, the Pirate Pak is a classic children’s order from White Spot that features a hamburger (or another dinner item) placed in a fancy cardboard pirate ship. Sounds silly? You’ve obviously never enjoyed the thrill of finding pirate treasure (i.e. a gold chocolate coin) in the hull of a cardboard ship!

by Craig Takeuchi in Uncategorized on August 12, 2019

WWE’s Corey Graves will star in The Main Event.

The Vancouver screen scene is in a perpetual state of flux, where everything is constantly coming and going.

Such is the case with this week’s roundup of what’s filming in the city.

While a new TV series and a movie are calling it a wrap this week, there’ll be a new TV series and another movie coming this way next month to fill the gap.

From WWE wrestling stars to Santa Claus, and from a talking emotional-support dog to a ghostly rock band, it seems like the projects shooting in the city have covered quite the hodgepodge of subject matter.

Well, that’s Vancouver for you.

And for more details about all of this, see you after the jump.
