After a dark winter, the days are finally getting brighter, and Canucks everywhere are coming out from their dens (and family rooms). As the temperature rises, consider incorporating an after-dinner stroll into your nightly routine – the constantly-changing scenery is terrific to watch, and will keep your spirits high until summer's arrival.

Weekends in spring tend to be busy (spring cleaning the house, prepping the flowerbeds) but it can be worth spending a little extra time on having some fun, too. Check in at your local art gallery, performing theatre or civic centre for events. Here are five fun things to do this spring.
