		<title>The Big One: Vancouver is due. Are we ready?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I came to Vancouver several years ago, no one told me I was moving to earthquake country.  The city is vulnerable to the same type of  megaquake that devastated Japan in March 2011, killing more than 20,000 people.  Experts estimate that there&#8217;s a one in four chance of a cataclysmic quake hitting Vancouver within [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Bodrum, Turkey, a Hotel for Art and Artists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bodrum used to be an isolated fishing village and penal colony on Turkey&#8217;s remote Aegean Coast.  But for the last decade or so it&#8217;s been the go-to destination for wealthy Istanbulus, not to mention whole colonies of British and Russian travelers looking for sun, sand and kebaps. Still, its appeal is pretty timeless &#8211; azure [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meet Me at the Rodeo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Calgary Stampede &#8211; which takes place every July in the Canadian prairies &#8211; is among the most storied events in rodeo: a 10-day competition with millions in prize money up for grabs and a history stretching back more than a century.  It&#8217;s also a huge party, which transforms the otherwise mild-mannered city of Calgary, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canadian Geographic-Photography of Remy Scalza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been writing stories for as long as I can remember.  But I&#8217;ve only been taking photographs seriously since I took a class with Pulitzer-Prize winner Pat Davidson at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2007.  My photographs have come a long way since then.  They still have a long way to [...]]]></description>

		<title>12 Craft Brewers Shaking Up Canada&#8217;s Industry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While Seattle and Portland are widely regarded as the epicenter of the West Coast craft brew renaissance, there&#8217;s a lot going on north of the border as well.  In Vancouver alone, dozens of craft breweries have emerged in the last decade, producing a highly respectable lineup of IPAs and pale ales, wheat beers, stouts and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wedded Bliss in Jamaica? No worries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In most of my stories, I try to keep the &#8220;I&#8221; to a minimum &#8211; better to let the places I visit take center stage than go on about myself.  But I had to make an exception with this story.  Last year I was married in Jamaica, on a beautiful stretch of Negril&#8217;s seven-mile beach.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Igloo 101: Snow camping in Vancouver</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of year again.  While Vancouver drowns in drizzle, the mountains that tower above the city get walloped with dozens of feet of snow.  I trekked up to nearby Cypress Mountain to partake in that most Canadian of rites, igloo building.  Turns out it&#8217;s much harder and wetter than it looks.  But the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pit Stop Turned Wine Country: British Columbia&#8217;s Similkameen Valley</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For at least a decade or so, Canada&#8217;s Okanagan Valley in British Columbia has been on the radar of people who like to travel to beautiful places to sip wine and get a tan.  The New York Times even called the area Napa North.  It&#8217;s gotten to the point where you have to compete with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paid to Tweet: Profile of a social media specialist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve all dreamed about it &#8211; A lucky few live the dream.  In Vancouver, an increasing number of companies are looking for full-time social media experts.  That&#8217;s right &#8211; People who get paid (well) to spend all day on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.  Skeptical about the qualifications of these so-called experts?  I was.  So I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Signs of Life in Vancouver&#8217;s Olympic Village</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written about Olympic Village a few times in the past year, and it always fascinates me.  The whole neighborhood &#8211; something like 25 high-rises comprising eight city blocks &#8211; was built from scratch at a cost of more than a billion dollars to house athletes during the 2010 Olympics.  Then, when the games were [...]]]></description>
