Things to Do This Week, August 16 to 22, 2010

What are you doing this week? If you need some summer activities, check out our top things to do this week in Vancouver:

Monday, August 16, 2010 – Cross Jelly On Display with Hitchhiking  Anemone

Take a peek at a crazy cross jelly and its hitchhiking friend at the Vancouver Aquarium. The translucent jelly is common to B.C.’s coastal waters, and is used by some anemones as food in order to develop. The jellies are only here for the summer months, so see them while you can. Learn more at Visit Van Aqua.
