Qi Gong is an ancient practice rooted in chinese tradition.Using movement, breathing, visualization and meditation to cultivate awareness, relaxation and
energy. Its history can be traced back into to at least to the times of Confucius (Kong Zi 551-479 BCE) with a traditional view of it dating back to the times of the Yellow Emperor 2500 BCE. Qi Gong focuses on developing
openness in the body while developing an abundance of healing energy. The umbrella term "Qi Gong" can be translated to mean "breath" or "energy work". This practice is an integral part of Traditional Chinese
Medicine, Martial arts and Spiritual practice within China.

What’s an evening without music? It’s the perfect compliment to good food and drink. Which is why every Sunday at 7 pm, Pourhouse hosts the rotating sounds of Russell Sholberg, Gord Whyte, or Paul Dohrty, and the popular singer, crooner, and guitar player Curtis Parry. The Dire Wolves play now and again, filling up the restaurant with fans and their bluegrass tunes. They even play the washboard!

The Legendary Race Returns to Gastown! Since its inaugural year in 1973, the Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix (formerly known as the Tour de Gastown) has been among North America’s most challenging and exhilarating cycling events. For more than 30 years, many of the world’s top male and female cyclists have taken part in this race famous for its compact course, hairpin corners and spectacular upsets. The Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix is a criterium — a multiple-lap bicycle race on a shorter closed route through city streets, with riders reaching speeds of up to 70 kilometres per hour in tightly packed pelotons. In the race’s prior years, huge crowds lined Water, Cambie, Carrall, Cordova and Abbott streets to witness the wheel-to-wheel action of this challenging race.
