2. Sunday afternoon (March 1), Vancouver Symphony Orchestra brings the repetitive, sensual beats of Ravel’s famous Boléro and other compositions to Bell Performing Arts Centre, 2:45 p.m. start in the theatre at Sullivan Heights Secondary. Check vancouversymphony.ca for tickets and read more in my earlier story on surreynowleader.com. Pro tip: For VSO concerts at the Bell, it’s best to sit 10 or 15 rows back from the stage for a better view of the orchestra.

3. North Surrey Sport & Ice Complex will be busy with the 2026 NHL Unites Pride Cup, organized to showcase two LGBTQ+ hockey associations in Vancouver and Seattle with games Saturday (11:45 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. starts) and Sunday (3:30 p.m.), plus a session for coaches. Admission is free to watch the third NHL-backed Pride Cup games, launched in Toronto in 2024.

4. Sunday is launch day for Dana Claxton’s The Bead at UrbanScreen, the digital art wall on the library building at Surrey Civic Plaza. Showcased until the first week of April, the video artwork “honours beadwork as a living cultural practice, highlighting its role in expressing identity, lineage and Lakota traditions through the handcrafted moccasins of Grace Peigan,” says a post on surrey.ca. No dinner plans? The wall of images can be seen from window seats at Dominion Bar + Kitchen, in Civic Hotel.

5. The weekend weather looks mild and clear, so go for a trail walk at Green Timbers Urban Forest, home to Surrey Nature Centre. Or get some steps in at South Surrey’s Redwood Park (17900 20 Ave.) to see the largest stand of Redwood trees north of the 49th parallel and tiny “fairy” houses. The park also boasts a replica of a treehouse once home to Peter and David Brown, twin brothers born to one of Surrey’s earliest pioneering families.
