Vancouver Fringe Festival | Now until Sept. 19| $15 | Granville Island

Nothing can beat live theatre. Luckily, the Vancouver Fringe Theatre Society (VFTS) is back in– person with their annual festival. This year’s theme is “renewal.” With mainstage shows drawn out of a hat, the event creates a space where creativity and inclusivity exist hand in hand. The Fringe Festival will host 15 distinct and unique performances by theatre groups across Vancouver, embracing the VFTS’ ideology of “Theatre for Everyone.” The program guide and tickets are available through Vancouver Fringe Festival’s website.

The event can be accessed through the Abbotsford Arts Council’s website.

The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society.
