Grab a glass (or four, you made it through Monday, after all) along with a bite from Livia Sweets’ antipasto menu—think breads, cookies, and “Grammy’s Cloud” biscuits.

Immerse yourself in National Geographic Live this Tuesday, where photojournalist and marine biologist Cristina Mittermeier is presenting Standing at Water’s Edge. Mittermeier’s documentation explores three disparate Indigenous communities in the Amazon, British Columbia, and Hawaii, and how each of these communities rely on and respect water. Each community has an understanding of taking only what they need—a concept that most of us could learn a lot from.

Even the most advanced camera technology likely can’t capture how adorable your German shepherd or hairless chihuahua is (all dogs are beautiful)! But perhaps a painting can? Artist or amateur, you’ll come out of Cork It Winemaking’s Paint Your Pet Night with a great likeness of your animal—participants send in a hi-res image of their pet to be sketched beforehand, so all you have to do is paint. Plus, the more wine you drink, the better your painting looks.
When: Thursday, October 10 7:00 p.m.Where: Cork It Wine MakingCost: $47More Info: eventbrite.com
When: Thursday, October 10 – Sunday, November 3Where: Goldcorp Stage at the BMO Theatre CentreCost: From $29More Info: artsclub.com
The Sandbar is trading in its generally seafood-focused menu for classic Thanksgiving offerings this weekend, including winter vegetables, house-made cranberry sauce, and oven-roasted turkey (the fish of the land, some might say). Each course has optional wine pairings from Cedar Creek and Quails Gate, and dessert is a traditional pumpkin pie with vanilla whipped cream (the sea foam of the land)?
When: Sunday, October 13 and Monday, October 14Where: The SandbarCost: $145More Info: vancouverdine.com/sandbar
