Variety Store in Davies Street, Vancouver

I needed a pan to cook rice in and decided I’d try this variety store on Davies Street, I was pleasantly surprised when I was met greeted by these two smiling faces at the front door. I couldn’t resist asking if I may snap a photo with their Canadian flag.

Homeless in Stanley Park

Filed under: Multiculturalism — celebratecanada @ 12:08 pm

I met “Trippy” along the sea wall on day as he cooked eggs and bacon in a fry pan over a small wood fire. The story goes Trippy was with the cirque du soleil as a trapeze artist when he took a bad spill and started doing drugs in order to get the courage to get back up on the trapeze. He’s now been living in Stanley Park for seven years.  I would see Trippy every other day and we would hang out on a street corner or a parking lot and shoot the breeze, after a couple weeks of this I would look forward to seeing him and our chats.

Ryan has been living on the streets of Vancouver of two years now and suffers from by polar.

Lost and forgotten – Evidence of a past camp hangs in the forest.

A not so pretty side of the homeless problem. I found this garage pile in the heart of Stanley Park.

Vancouver A City Of Glass

Filed under: Multiculturalism — celebratecanada @ 12:06 pm

Of all of the cities I visited across Canada this year, Vancouver most definitely had an impressive amount of glass. Everywhere you looked stood 35 storey glass monstrosities.

The glass cleaning business must be a booming business in this city of glass.
