Par-Tee Putt on Smithe St.
Location: 670 Smithe St., Vancouver

When it comes to planning a date, I’m a big fan of eating while doing fun activities. Par-Tee Putt, the first indoor mini golf bar in Vancouver that just opened its doors, is a great place to do that. With nostalgic music, yummy food, and 18 themed holes (some of which are Vancouver landmark-themed), you don’t even need to know what a golf club is to have a good time. Plus, there’s lots of cute photo-ops.

Book Warehouse
Locations: Broadway St. & Ash St. / Main St. & King Edward St.

Want something to read this cozy season? Book Warehouse is a great place to pick up your next favourite read and peruse the cute space with your special someone. What I love about this bookstore is that it features staff reviews for most of the books and if you need help finding a book or getting recommendations, their staff are friendly and helpful. The books are both new and used, as well as affordable. Who doesn’t love a book store date mid-autumn? 

BeadWorks on Granville Island
Location: 1666 Johnston St., Vancouver

Is it really cuffing season if you don’t have matching bracelets? Or should I say, if you like it then you should have put a ring on it? If you’re already out exploring Granville Island and want to try a creative activity, check out Beadworks. This adorable store is located outside the farmer’s market in the next building. There are many bead and material options, which are individually priced. Make a ring, necklace, or bracelet for any occasion. The staff are friendly and will help you create the jewelry piece of your liking.

The Bunny Cafe 
Location: 1696 Venables St, Vancouver

You’ve probably heard about Vancouver’s cat cafés, but have you heard about The Bunny Cafe? As a partner with Rabbitats, a rabbit rescue organization, the bunnies are all rescued and up for adoption. I suggest you come 10–15 minutes before your appointment to peruse the store and grab a cup of coffee before you go inside. You will receive some food to feed the bunnies before you enter the bunny area. This is a fun and affordable activity to do indoors for an hour. Located near Commercial Street, there are a lot of interesting stores nearby to explore after your bunny-loving experience. Reserve your one hour time slot online to make an appointment.

The AI gender gap should not be mischaracterized as a skill issue

Opinions Peak Web -
By: Heidi Kwok, Staff Writer “Raise your hand if you use AI regularly in some capacity.” The atmosphere in the classroom instantly tensed — was this seemingly harmless question actually a trap set out by our professor to weed out the academic non-believers? After what felt like minutes, several hands reluctantly shot up. Alarmingly, most of them were from the students who identified as men. Thankfully, the impromptu questionnaire did not lead to a bunch of failing grades and the lecture went forward as usual.  However, it underscored a more pressing issue with artificial intelligence (AI) use: research shows that men are more likely to adopt generative AI tools such as ChatGPT in professional settings than women. This staggering imbalance contributes to the pre-existent workplace gender...
