Hidden Gems: Date spots for lovers or friends

By: Ritu Mehra, SFU Student

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.

New immunotherapy treatment provides hope for aggressive cancer

By: Lucaiah Smith-Miodownik, News Writer Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are often recognized as the three most common forms of cancer treatment. Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. 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. Immunotherapy seeks to help strengthen the ability to recognize and fight...
