<p>In the 1970&#8217;s, Chef Hidekazu Tojo invented this classic California sushi roll. For the ultimate experience, try the &#8220;<em>Omakase</em>&#8221; menu (“Chef, I’m in your hands”). However, if that&#8217;s a little too adventurous, there are other menu options too.

And the grey squirrels aren’t a native species. In 1909, New York City gifted Vancouver with eight pairs, and all those scampering around the park are their descendants.  </p>

<p>Paris in springtime has nothing on Vancouver in the fall. When the leaves start turning in this neck of the woods, it’s time to fall forward. Summer is over. In Vancouver, fall is a time for a fresh start, and it doesn’t get any fresher or more invigorating than British Columbia.</p>
