We're continuing with our popular feature - our staff's Top 5 W(Or More) Things To Do This Weekend. It runs regularly in our Friday editions.
This week, we have some outdoor family fun, a singing diva, good eating at the casino, bottle collecting and a flea market.
1 Get outdoors for Critter Capers: The case of the monster from the marsh at Burnaby Lake Regional Park on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 1 to 4 p.m.
This free family event asks families to use their detective skills discover if there's a monster living at Burnaby Lake. This event is ideal for children six and older.
Anyone interested is asked to meet at the Burnaby Lake Nature House at the end of Piper Avenue, just off of Winston Street.
Get captivated by Sharron 2 Matthews, the one part stand-up, one part chanteuse downtown diva at the Studio Theatre at the Shadbolt Centre.
Matthews combines her powerful voice and comedic wit to create pop medleys, sing-alongs and song-o-logues that will have the audience roaring with laughter. The show goes at 8 p.m. on both Oct. 21 and 22.
