Just in time for the long weekend, Vancouver is opening three outdoor pools on May 22: the saltwater Kitsilano pool and the kid-friendly New Brighton and Second Beach pools with their sloped beach-style entries.
You’ll need to plan ahead as pools are reducing their maximum capacities due to COVID-19. Advance registration is required: public swimmers can book a 90-minute block, while length swimmers can book 45-minute blocks. Come ready to swim; change rooms will be closed.
Need some safe and delicious plans for the May long weekend? The Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival is heading to North Surrey for the first time ever later this month.
This free entry, drive-thru festival will take place on May 22 and 23 between 11 am to 6 pm.
Folks will be able to roll up to North Surrey Secondary (15945 96th Avenue, Surrey) on those days to take part in the celebration.

VANCOUVER Another 10 elementary and secondary schools in the Lower Mainland have had exposures to COVID-19 variants of concern, according to health officials. Fraser Health said it s working closely with school districts in Surrey, Burnaby and Coquitlam to manage the latest exposures, and that seven full classes are in isolation as a result. That includes two classes each at North Surrey Secondary and Woodward Hills Elementary, and one class each at Frost Road Elementary, Marlborough Elementary and Princess Margaret Secondary. As these are variants that are new to our communities and more easily transmissible, Fraser Health is working to identify any further connected variant cases to ensure immediate isolation and case management to prevent further transmission, the health authority said in a news release.
