In light of recent events related to the mayor of Toronto – I’m sick of seeing his name published everywhere, so I’ll forgo it – it makes me sad to see the bad wrap the city itself is garnering. The kings of late night have used the incident to fuel a few cheap jabs during their opening monologues (Canadians don’t pronounce the second “T” in Toronto, by the way).
It’s a busy time for Keegan Connor Tracy, the Vancouver-based stunner who’s making moves on the big and small screens playing a variety of compelling characters. I had the opportunity to chat with her before she jets off to London for Comic Con. Here’s what we learned about this dynamic — and refreshingly wry-witted — actress.
Grandparents are the best. They’re your allies when you think your parents are being difficult or unjust. They spoil you, cheer you on and celebrate each milestone. When you slip up they remind you that your parents did the exact same thing when they were your age. They proudly display photos of you through every awkward stage of adolescence, maintaining that they thought you looked beautiful every step of the way.
First weekend of May means summer is so close I can almost take the white wine spritzers and other assorted beach pops. While it’s not bikini weather in Vancouver just yet, it’s definitely time to start prepping your summer playlist compilations. Here’s a few jams to get you started. xx
If you follow me on Twitter, you may know of my complete and utter distaste for bubble-gum-pop-sometimes-country songstress Taylor Swift. The queen of kiss and tell has always irritated me a little for one simple fact: she can’t really sing, yet she scoops boatloads of awards (sorry, but Kanye was right).

Stories seep into it’s fibers, unfolding over cocktails in a dimly lit lobby bar among friends or new acquaintances.
It’s not the first time Vancouver’s Darcy Michael has graced the pages of UCV.com. We first started following his career in his early days doing stand-up in dingy cafes and half-empty bars. Today, Darcy is headlining comedy festivals across Canada, is a regular on CBC Radio’s The Debaters and is about to start filming for his first starring role in a sitcom.
So why am I posting a photo diary 6 months after our wedding? Many of our friends and family have asked to see our photos, so naturally I considered uploading an album to Facebook. However, the thought of FB owning these images is not at all appealing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty open in the social media space and share just about anything, but…
When we arrived at the tiny Roatan airport, welcomed by rain and intense humidity, I wasn’t at all impressed, having left another rainforest known as Vancouver.
