Granville Street is where the world came to Mix it up during the 2010 Olympics. We're carrying this same spirit into the summer with a slew of summer events including dance, music, food and drink. Come visit Vancouver's Street and get the details here.

It's official... Opticana is the best place to shop for eyewear!

Congratulations to Opticana Eyewear for their recognition in Where magazine's Reader Awards "Where to Shop".

The blurb:

The huge selection at Opticana draws a variety of eyesight-challenged visitors. They come to choose a pair of Canadian, European or custom-made frames from the hundreds available, backed by the promise they’ll get them for free if they fill their prescription (and buy the lenses) in-store.

Other notable mentions:
  • Top three department stores: the Bay, Sears and Winners, are all located on Granville as well.
  • Top Shopping Center: Pacific Centre (500-700 blocks of Granville)
  • Best Jewellery: Birks (698 West Hastings, or 400 block of Granville)
  • 3rd in Footwear: Ingledews (535 Granville)
  • 2nd in Ladies wear: Holt Renfrew (633 Granville)
