Here's a fun one for the early Christmas shopping crowd – this one at the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre. The centre is holding its annual Nikkei Christmas Boutique on Saturday, Dec. 1 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

It’s a favourite event of the Christmas season in Burnaby, and it’s coming back very soon. The St. Thomas More Collegiate Knights Christmas Market returns on Saturday, Nov. 24 and Sunday, Nov. 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

Time to get serious about protecting your garden investment. This is like making a deposit in your RRSP - do it now and reap the rewards later. Put a wrap on your garden in November and you end up with a great looking garden come spring.

While there are a number of places to celebrate the holidays, Heritage Christmas at the Burnaby Village Museum offers a unique, old-fashioned experience.

From smaller community events to bigger multi-day markets, you’ll find all sorts of art, goods, crafts, and lots of fun at these 35 upcoming craft fairs and holiday markets taking place all around Metro Vancouver this November and December.
