To me, living local means fully embracing and experiencing the beauty of the community we live in. It is walking down the street and knowing the owners and the stories behind our local shops, choosing to support local eateries, and being an active part of the events that shape our province. After moving to the island, visiting new beaches, hiking trails, and local spaces, it helped me put down roots in the community. To me this is what it means to truly live local, and appreciate the true heart of what makes our province so special. When I am in Vancouver, one of my favourite places to visit is Stanley Park, pictured here.
