This event is an example of the creative and artistic community events that are regular fare in this part of the Lower Mainland.  If you’re looking for a place to live near Vancouver that has great community spirit, easy access to downtown (think SkyTrain & Westcoast Express), more affordable housing options and a wide variety of cultural and sporting activities, you should be checking out the Tri-Cities area of Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam.
