Heading down in background

The oldest framework in Vancouver Chinatown, the historic Wing Sang constructing at 51 East Pender St., will turn out to be the everlasting dwelling of a new landmark: the Chinese Canadian Museum, envisioned to open in 2023. For now, you can check out out its temporary exhibitions, which include the recently opened “First Measures: Chinese Canadian Journeys in Victoria,” positioned in Victoria Chinatown’s Lover Tan Alley. Also new is Vancouver’s Chinatown Storytelling Centre, opened in November as a cultural space that zooms in on the history of the neighbourhood and the encounters of early Chinese Canadian immigrants.

Land of h2o and ice

Every single spring, the edges of glaciers in Greenland split off, floating down to Newfoundland and Labrador in the variety of 10,000-calendar year-aged icebergs. If you’re hoping to place nature’s frozen sculptures, the key time is from about May perhaps to June. You can cruise the waters about the islands of Twillingate, N.L. — which promises the title of the world’s iceberg funds — on boat journeys with Iceberg Man Excursions and Iceberg Quest. If you time your excursion with any luck, you could also go scouting for whales whilst observing for bergs.

Coming before long

Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan — interior designers, Television personalities and new hoteliers — have announced they’ll start their 22-room oceanside house, North Star, in June. Locate the lodge, a overall revamp of Point of Look at Suites, in the historic neighborhood of Louisbourg on Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
