Port Moody is very well known for its local breweries, particularly the walkable “Brewers Row” along Murray Street, home to popular spots like Yellow Dog, Moody Ales, Parkside, Twin Sails, and others, making it a major craft beer destination in BC known for its concentrated cluster of high-quality, diverse breweries. Join us for a relaxed visit to one (or more) local brewery, where we’ll try some locally brewed beers and get to meet new friends in a welcoming, easygoing setting. If you’d like to keep the fun going, we can head to the Shoreline Trail afterward for a casual walk and more chances to chat and connect. The Shoreline Trail is a scenic, mostly flat path connecting Rocky Point Park and Old Orchard Park along the Burrard Inlet, offering lovely waterfront views, birdwatching, and family-friendly walking/biking with a mix of paved and gravel sections, perfect for a couple of hours of exploration. https://bcaletrail.ca/app/uploads/2016/10/BCAleTrail_PortMoody_Map_WEB.pdf 📅日期：1月31日 (星期六) (January 31, 2026 Saturday) ⏰時間 : 11:45am - 3:00pm 🚩集合地點： Meet at 11:45am at Moody Centre Station (https://maps.app.goo.gl/amXsmNXLgUKsCR4i6) 💰費用：Participant will pay for his/her own drinks and snacks / food (Supported by the Province of British Columbia)

👇👇👇👇👇 按此購票 活動將以英語舉行 What is a diner? A diner is a type of restaurant found across the United States and Canada, as well as parts of Western Europe and Australia. Diners offer mostly American cuisine, a casual atmosphere, and, typically, a combination of booths and a long sit-down counter. In Canada, a diner is a casual restaurant, often with a retro-style interior, that serves a range of American-style food, such as hamburgers, eggs, and club sandwiches. The diner that we will try out this time is: Helen’s Grill - https://helensgrill.ca/ Tucked into the heart of Vancouver’s Main Street, Helen’s Grill has been serving locals since 1961—and walking through the door feels like stepping back in time. With its vintage booths, old-school counter, and the warm smell of coffee and bacon in the air, it’s the kind of place where everyone feels welcome. This classic Canadian diner is known for its simple, hearty breakfasts—think eggs cooked your way, crispy hash browns, fluffy pancakes, and buttered toast—served with a big smile and endless coffee refills. It’s a favorite morning stop for longtime Vancouverites, and now, it’s your chance to experience this beloved local gem for yourself. For many Canadians, diners like Helen’s are more than just places to eat—they’re part of the culture. It’s where people gather, catch up, and start their day. Whether you’re craving comfort food or curious about daily life in Vancouver, Helen’s Grill is the perfect introduction. So come hungry, bring your appetite for something new, and enjoy a warm, welcoming breakfast the way locals have for over 60 years. 📅日期：10月25日 (星期六) (October 25, 2025 Saturday) ⏰時間 : 9:30am - 12:00pm 🚩集合地點： Meet at 9:30am outside of Helen’s Grill (4102 Main St, Vancouver) (https://maps.app.goo.gl/CuCqKB6guUeJU4t87) 🚌到達交通: From King Edward Canada Line station, you can take bus #25 or walk 💰費用：Participant will pay for his/her own brunch (Supported by the Province of British Columbia)

This event allows us to understand and commemorate the history and legacy of the residential school system. We will honour the resilience, dignity and strength of survivors and intergenerational survivors and remember the children who never came home. It’s a chance to engage and educate us, the newcomers from Hong Kong, about the BC and Canadian colonial history and how it has and continues to impact Indigenous communities. The event will commence at 1pm. The plan is to have lunch at Wo Fung Noodle House (車仔麵) from 11:30am to 12:30pm, and then walk ourselves to Richmond Cultural Centre. It would be a great idea to wear something orange, if you have. Why orange? Check this out: https://www.savethechildren.ca/every-child-matters-the-origin-of-orange-shirt-day/

👇👇👇👇👇 按此購票 活動將以英語舉行 👣 New Westminster: New Westminster is located on the banks of the Fraser River and has six unique areas. This time, we will go visit 2 of them: Westminster Quay and Queensborough. Westminster Quay was a mid-1980s development to revitalize New Westminster and accompanied the development of the sky train line to Vancouver. The market re-opened as The River Market in September 2010 with Donald’s Market as the main anchor. The Westminster Quay is also known to house a 9.75-metre-tall (32.0 ft) tin soldier which was given the title of the world’s largest by the Guinness Book of World Records back in 2002. Previously an agricultural and industrial area, Queensborough has transformed into a charming suburb lined with colourful homes and scenic waterfront trails. It is on the eastern tip of Lulu Island (same island as Richmond) on the Fraser River and the borough is just a quick Q2Q Ferry ride away from the Original Downtown.
