Winter is nearly coming to an end — even with the occasional snowfall and we’re looking forward to longer days, more sunshine (hopefully), milder temperatures, and the colors of spring. Here are a few highlights happening around the city this month.
Cherry Blossom in Vancouver
When do they bloom?
Cherry blossoms bloom late March to early April in Vancouver.
Peak bloom lasts 7–10 days, depending on the weather. Warmer springs bring earlier blooms; cooler temperatures may delay them.
Because the season is short, check weekly bloom updates before visiting.
The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival includes guided walks, performances, and a real-time bloom map.
Visit the official festival website to learn more.

Because each variety blooms at a slightly different time, cherry blossom season can stretch for several weeks.

The Season Is Changing
International Women’s Day is not about idealizing women. It is about recognizing their contributions across industries, communities, and families.
Progress has taken time, and it continues through persistence and steady effort. Women lead, build, care, and create in ways that shape the world around us.
Today, we acknowledge women in their individuality and diversity of experience and ambition. We value environments where every woman can grow with confidence, safety, and respect.
We are also grateful to the women who came before us, whose efforts helped expand opportunities and shape the possibilities we have today
