The rain is here and soon the leaves will begin to turn lovely shades of yellow and red, but that also means the sun is leaving us for a while. It is generally hard to think of things to do when it’s a little bit sad outside because we tend to just go to movies, the mall or sit at home and eat. Though those are still lovely, there are some things you can do around UBC and Vancouver instead.

1. VanDusen Botanical Gardens – one of the nicest places to view the changing colours of the leaves!

2. Vancouver Art Gallery – time to get cultured if you haven’t already visited!

3. Vancouver International Film Festival – this happens in the beginning of October showing films featuring 80 different countries. Perfect if you’ve always wanted to travel!

4. Fright Nights at the PNE – this is a fun, but spooky activity to do for Halloween!

5. Chan Centre – go see an enchanting musical performance!

6. Canucks Games – always a great study break!

7. Museum of Anthropology – it’s free with a student card!

8. Chan Centre – go see an enchanting musical performance!

9. Flyovercanada – a way to get acquainted with Canada with videos and a flying ride from coast to coast!

10. Science World – go enjoy Science and acting like a kid again!

Despite the darker skies and colder weather, there is still a lot to do 🙂
