During the tour, I will be happy to answer all your questions, as well as the best-kept secrets that some locals don't even know. 
 

Meeting location: šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl'e7énḵ Square at Vancouver Art Gallery (plaza off Georgia St). I will be standing at the bottom of the large staircase with the 2 lion statues wearing a small blue backpack.
