Spring has sprung in Metro Vancouver, with cherry blossom trees starting to bloom last week.
Growing up in southern Ontario, I didn’t have the chance to see these kinds of trees often. I had the odd trip to Toronto to see them bloom in High Park, but it was very rare.
Living in Metro Vancouver for the past two and a half years, I can say I’ve seen collections of sakura trees bloom a few times and have seen lots more of them because of public transit.
Here is my list of some of the best spots to see cherry blossoms this spring in Metro Vancouver, and they are transit-friendly!

Surrey city councillors Jack Hundial and Brenda Locke sent a letter on Feb. 15 to over 1,000 elected officials in B.C., saying there is a need to have a feasibility study done on the transition of the Surrey Police from the RCMP to a municipal force.
Hundial and Locke say the study would make sure the transition doesn’t negatively impact Surrey or disrupt public safety in the province.
“Public safety without a feasibility study to me is completely irresponsible,” says Locke. “This is not the time to do it during a pandemic. This is going to really hurt and impact Surrey’s budget and its ability to develop and create infrastructure that’s needed in the city.”
