Summer in the Park: Outdoor Movie Nights for the whole family

I was walking my adopted dog Wagner at the off-leash park at John Hendry park (better known as Trout Lake), and I heard from one of the friendly dog owners that the City of Vancouver is hosting an open-air movie night in the park on Thursday, July 16th.



Always a fan of corny RomComs like The Wedding Planner- in which J.Lo and Matthew McConaughey dance in Golden Gate Park as classic movies are projected for the masses to enjoy on warm summer evenings - this is exactly the kind of thing that tells me our East Van community is thriving. Unfortunately I can't go, but I hope you will go out to enjoy some fun with your neighbours and family and take in a great movie:
