Baby + Me Hike/Snowshoe

When: Jan 15th - Mar 12th, 2026
Where: Sea to Sky Gondola

The Baby + Me social hike and snowshoe is back for winter, and we can’t wait to get out on the trails. Led by prenatal and postnatal fitness expert Melanie Ackerley, this relaxed outing is all about getting outside, soaking up fresh mountain air, and connecting with your baby and other parents along the way. You can expect beautiful views, an easy pace on front country trails, and plenty of friendly conversation. After the hike, you can warm up with a complimentary coffee and a sweet treat. Participation is free with a lift ticket or Annual Membership, and snowshoe and crampon rentals are available for $5. The event will go ahead rain, snow, or shine, and the walk is designed to be casual and accessible, making it a great option for parents and babies of all experience levels.

Canyon Lights

When: Until Jan 21st, 2026
Where: Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Canyon Lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park does not disappoint! Cross the world-famous bridge, lit end-to-end with a changing multi-colour display, and sway high above the illuminated Capilano River. Journey into a glittering rainforest and walk high above the forest floor on a transformed Treetops Adventure. Finally, walk along the twinkling cliffside pathway of Cliffwalk. Capture an Instagram-worthy photo, sip a decadent hot chocolate to the sound of live festive tunes, or get in on the Snowy Owl Prowl scavenger hunt. We love that Canyon Lights continues its support of the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund with partial proceeds from admissions donated to fire and burn education in schools throughout British Columbia.
