The Clare Valley is sure to thrill your taste buds

A resident killer whale calf needs a new name and you can be part of the selection process. The two-year-old calf, currently known as A116, is the second offspring of Springer (A37).

A new dessert craze has hit Richmond and this time, it’s a fusion of two beloved dishes. Avery, a restaurant near Garden City Road and Alderbridge Way, is the first in Metro Vancouver to serve up bubble tea hot pot.

With craft breweries trending towards more approachable beers, two styles have emerged as the big winners: hazy pales and lagers.

Ever had a beer that was just, well… off? When good beer goes bad, it can feel like a tragedy.

Because, like most great ideas, it seems really obvious. Pastry stouts and dessert beers are all the rage right now, and the Nanaimo bar is an iconic B.C. confection. Put them together and it’s a slam dunk.

UPDATE: Spring Lights 2019 has been cancelled.

Whether you’re celebrating with your partner, family or friends, the Richmond News wants to wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day.
