Scenes outside BC Place Stadium for the Alcoholics Anonymous International Convention look more like a Taylor Swift concert — tens of thousands lined up, buzzing with excitement, ready to get in for the Opening Ceremony. Never seen lines this long to get into the stadium. 1/3

A dynamic visualization showing the wind patterns of the bomb cyclone that is now hitting the west coast of Canada and the USA. Look at that low pressure rotation. An eye-like centre signifies rapid storm intensification, according to NOAA. 👁 #bombcyclone #bcstorm

T-10 minutes until midnight. 🕕 No New Year's Eve fireworks at Coal Harbour, but there are thousands of people outside Canada Place and along the Vancouver Convention Centre seawall. People huddled along the railing, phones pointed toward the water. #NYE

New SkyTrain smell... riding the first segment of the Montreal REM. This is basically everything Vancouver's SkyTrain should be (REM is modelled after SkyTrain with some big improvements). Inbound view of the downtown Montreal skyline during the approach into Gare Centrale.

Watching the magic of the season unfold at The Shipyards' new free Christmas Market in North Vancouver. Twinkling lights, festive treats and people gracefully (and not-so-gracefully) skating. ⛸️ The perfect holiday vibe. 🎄 What a great public space on the Lonsdale waterfront.
