VANCOUVER, B.C.: June 17, 2018 – My friends, the time has come. Sunday’s weather kicks off Vancouver’s annual ‘hot weather debate’ season in which friends are turned enemies as they debate whether it’s too hot or if this is the Vancouver summer we’ve been waiting for.

Throw in a dash of ‘you’ll regret this when it’s raining again’ and that’s how friendships in Vancouver are built. The heat wave will last throughout the weekend so be sure to drink water, slather on the sunscreen and stay shaded if you plan to argue over the weather.
