68. A Perfect Day For a Walk with Bill Arnott

68. A Perfect Day For a Walk with Bill Arnott

Why not take a saunter with bestselling author Bill Arnott, whose A Perfect Day for a Walk offers a fresh take on the streets, parks, vistas, nooks, and crannies of the Vancouver we think we know. Join us inside for a Q&A with Arnott, whose fascinating anecdotes and encyclopedic knowledge of the city’s forgotten history will offer a new perspective on home. Then, come shine or rain (so bring those umbrellas), he’ll guide you on a walking tour on and around Granville Island, where you’ll discover places you’ve walked by time after time, and new facts about iconic landmarks. You’ll leave feeling as energized in body as mind.
