Days are getting longer with glorious sunshine, flowers are blooming, and spring is in the air. Pack up the family, head for the cottage and explore British Columbia's beautiful Sunshine Coast. Located only an hour from Vancouver but a world away from city crowds, the Sunshine Coast is a great place to reconnect and enjoy spring break with the family. What could define a family vacation on the Sunshine Coast more than sea kayaking in protected coastal waters, horse... http://www.bbsunshinecoast.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=299 http://www.bbsunshinecoast.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=299 Chris follows the Olympic Flame as it journeys through the Sunshine Coast in the Vancouver, Coast and Mountains region of British Columbia.

Where the heck is Sakinaw Lake I wondered? Thinking it was inland, hard to reach and really, not my idea of a relaxing getaway with a few close pals, I quickly agreed to go following a google search to the site of Sakinaw Lake Lodge Resort. This divine Lodge sits at the water's edge of Sakinaw Lake, only a few minutes drive past Madeira Park and Pender Harbour on the Sunshine Coast. Incredib... http://www.bbsunshinecoast.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=295 http://www.bbsunshinecoast.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=295 With the Olympics backdrop, many events are held in Vancouver to take advantage of that. We had the pleasure to go to an event that showcased the food and wines from Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast. The event was by invitations only. Having the privilege to receive the invitations (as media) was a compliment to the website as well as to anyone who follows us. A few other fellow food bloggers were there too. The event itself was held at Robson Square.

My family and I have been going camping there every summer for thirteen years. Our friends have a beautiful cabin on the secluded side of the lake. Everybody that goes to that side of the lake has to be brought over by boat. That's one of the many reasons why my family and I love it so much - it's so secluded. Each day my friends and I swim out to th... http://www.bbsunshinecoast.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=293 http://www.bbsunshinecoast.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=293 Any number of daytrips and overnight getaways are gold-medal performers in their own right and easy to access Had it up to your mukluks with Muk Muk? Want to put your red mittens around Quatchi's furry neck? Relax. Breathe. Put the mittens in a drawer. It's just a little touch of Olympic burnout. And the best prescription for that is a day or two away from Olympic Games ground zero, which in the case of the 2010 Winter Games eliminates Vancouver proper and the entire Howe... http://www.bbsunshinecoast.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=291 http://www.bbsunshinecoast.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=291 Tourism Vancouver Island is pleased to present: BEAUTIFUL VANCOUVER ISLAND & THE SUNSHINE COAST http://www.bbsunshinecoast.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=290 http://www.bbsunshinecoast.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=290 If there were an Olympic event for lugging suitcases jam-packed with preserves into Vancouver, local tourism folks Judy Spears and Celia Robben would be shoo-ins for the gold medal. Last Thursday, Feb. 11, the intrepid women were two representatives of the Sunshine Coast, in Vancouver along with Stafford Lumley, owner of Smitty's Oyster House from the Lower Sunshine Coast. Representing the Powell River area were councillor and tourism chair Chris McNaughton and chef David Bowes of the Laughin...
