Humane. Organic. Cage-free. Free-range. Free-run. Cruelty-free. Natural. With so many different designations, it's hard to know which egg is the best egg

What better way to learn the secrets of Vancouver’s underground music scene than on the big screen
In 2008, I had the chance to see
City Beats: Lost Vancouver from the '40s to the '60s at the
Vancouver DOXA Documentary Film Festival. The program featured a series of archived black-and-white short films that offered "poetic portraits" of our city. The audience was blown away by trolley buses along Hastings, fishing in False Creek and canoes on Lost Lagoon.

1. It’s healthy
David McInnes: “When I come home from work, I don’t feel as bad seating in the couch because I have already done some exercise today and it puts you in a great mental state.”
Eric Lorenz: “At first I was riding four days a week and taking a bus on the last day to rest. I lost 45 pounds in five months! It’s a very good exercise!”
