Back by popular demand, the Jewish Museum and Archives of B.C. are once again offering historic walking tours of Jewish Strathcona and Gastown. In the 1880s and 1990s, following the arrival of the transcontinental railway, the town of Granville quickly grew to become the City of Vancouver. According to the museum, many Jews contributed to the city's economic growth, political incorporation and cultural development. Jewish businesses opened in Gastown and a wave of Eastern European immigrants made Strathcona the new centre of B.C.'s Jewish population between the 1890s and 1920s. A tour guide from the Jewish Museum and Archives of B.C. leads the two-kilometre walking tours. For dates and times call 604-257-5199 or email [email protected].

JULY 31

Get out that boa, high heels, Mardi Gras beads and rainbow flag because it's that time of year once again. And no, I'm not referring to Courier columnist Fred Lee's annual pilgrimage to city hall to get his parking permit renewed. It's Pride Week, which culminates in the Pride Parade July 31. The parade route this year begins at noon at Robson and Bute streets, continues down Denman and then along Beach Avenue where it culminates in the Sunset Beach Pride Festival. This year's parade includes 140 entries made up of colourful floats, marching bands, community groups and, I'm sure, that same group of guys who wander naked down the parade route for no apparent reason except it's 麻豆传媒映画and they can.
