Vancouver and Whistler Places

Maybe you think you know Vancouver pretty well, maybe you’d like to get to know the city better, maybe you have never been to Vancouver, or maybe you’d just like to hear a couple guys who wrote the best-selling ”111 Places in Vancouver That You Must Not Miss” guidebook tell a few yarns about the city they love. Join producer Mike Finnegan as he tries to keep chatty, and sometimes witty, authors Dave Doroghy and Graeme Menzies on track as they discuss interesting and often unknown facts and stories about their favorite places in Vancouver.
