[LINK] What to See in Vancouver in August?

[Tom Worthington]

Any suggestions as to what to do in Canada in August? I have visited 
Vancouver briefly before, arriving from Toronto by train and have seen 
the whales.

I will be University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, 21 to 26 
August 2014, to present a paper at the 9th International Conference on 
Computer Science & Education (ICCSE 2014): http://ieee-iccse.org/

My paper for the conference is "Chinese and Australian Students Learning 
to Work Together Online: Proposal to Expand the New Colombo Plan to the 
Online Environment": http://hdl.handle.net/1885/11724

Normally when speaking at a conference, I also give a free public talk 
for government, professionals and academics, hosted by a local body. 
Anyone willing to host a talk please let me know. Last year I talked on 
"Mobiles and e-learning for Pandemic Flu Response" to members of the 
Sahana Software Foundation at Virtusa in Colombo, after ICCSE 2013:

ps: I am a Distance Education student at Athabasca University and so was 
thinking of dropping in to visit the campus, until I discovered 
Athabasca is 1,300 km from Vancouver. ;-)
