Today’s Groupon to Great River Fishing Adventures. Choose between the following options:

• For $125, you get a four-hour educational sturgeon fishing trip (a $250 value).

• For $125, you get a four-hour salmon or steelhead fly-fishing trip (a $250 value).

Great River Fishing supplies rods and tackle on each excursion. Current fishing locations will be discussed with customers upon booking. Each trip is for four people so Groupon customers will be paired with others, or may use four Groupons to put together a private trip. While sturgeon populate the river system year-round, steelhead are more prevalent during January through mid-May and salmon are most likely to use their timeshares during peak season in mid-August through November.

Great River Fishing’s expert staff lead sport-fishing expeditions—with an eye toward local-wildlife conservation—through stretches of the Fraser River. A four-hour fishing expedition escorts adventurer duos in one of the company fleet’s 20 custom-welded river jet boats on a hunt for living-dinosaur white sturgeon. Blending the sport of line fishing with education on the deep denizen’s 100-million-year existence, local habitat, and life cycles, each water-whispering excursion teaches current conservation efforts. Tour participants have the opportunity to tag, measure, and scan, recording each fish’s personal data and credit-card numbers. Instructors will also discuss the prime seasons and proper bait for securing a finshake with the disguised river gods.

A fly-fishing adventure takes rod-wielders spying for salmon on the Fraser River and surrounding tributaries, or for steelhead on the Vedder River. During a four-hour instructional, four packs of pupils receive guidance in the basics of the craft, honing skills to cast in single, double-hand, and piggyback spey-fishing style. Anglers browsing running waters for salmon may have the opportunity to catch each of the five Pacific species. If fishing for steelhead, specialized guides lead their groups to prime fishing spots and equip them with proper fly and tackle.

Experienced spey casters also school boat-bound students on proper knot tying and rigging, water reading, relevant entomology, and stream etiquette. Participants develop fish-safe catch-and-release techniques, learning that ecosystems, like golden Frisbees, only become more valuable once they’re gone. Participants of all experience levels take to the rods and ropes in hands-on instruction, and they may expect to see eagles, bears, otters, and other wildlife.

During the microdermabrasion session, epidermal wizards deftly slough off the pesky ghosts of dead skin cells with the help of crystal-free, laser-cut diamonds to reveal the glowing skin beneath. While the treatment is safe for all skin types, it is especially beneficial for faces prone to dryness, acne, discolouration, or fits of extreme smiling. Next, visages imbibe in a nourishing CoffeeBerry enzyme mask, soaking up the antioxidant-rich and chemical-free cocktail that restores balance to polished faces.

Hell Pizza
1931 Lonsdale Ave.
North Vancouver, British Columbia

http://hellpizza.com/ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $17, you get two double-size (12.5”) standard, gourmet, or vegetarian pizzas (up to a $35.84 value) for carryout at Hell Pizza in North Vancouver.

Ever since its first pie issued forth from the oven-bound infernos of New Zealand in 1996, the netherworld-themed pizzeria’s primarily kiwi doughsmiths have conjured hand-cut ingredients and special-recipe tomato base onto a whole-wheat Dantean circle and tormented them into gourmet pizzas. Among the standard menu’s multitude of sins, only Envy makes eyes wish they were stomachs with its hearty conference of ham, salami, pineapple, bacon, onions, and mushrooms. The Mordor dots its smoky barbecue wasteland with pepperoni, bacon, chicken, onions, green peppers, and carelessly handled magic rings, and the Pandemonium smothers chicken and camembert beneath its piquant currents of cranberry sauce. Herds of smoked salmon and spring onion roam the cream cheese fields of the Serpent, best served with tosses of capers and avocado. Herbivores, however, can work off minor misdeeds—such as rhyming the word “together” with “forever”—with the Purgatory’s fresh spinach, feta, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and mushrooms.

Each eldritch edible entity on Hell Pizza’s menu can be summoned into our reality by making a carryout incantation online. Hell’s pizzas run between $13 and $17.

Choose from the following locations: Kerrisdale, Kitsilano, Lynn Valley Road, North Vancouver East, North Vancouver West, West Point Grey, and West Vancouver.

Members at Curves, a fitness centre designed exclusively for women, rotate around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that are designed to work with female bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. Circuit coaches are always nearby to help manage participants’ machine manoeuvring and muscle making. For 30 minutes, limbering ladies move around a circuit that positions machines inward, encouraging casual conversation while worker-outers release up to 500 units of caloric energy into the fatigued atmosphere. The hydraulic machines use the exerciser’s own body weight to create resistance that matches abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean bodies perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like they can.

At select locations, Curves Circuit with Zumba combines machine workouts and Zumba Fitness, a Latin-inspired dance workout that helps women salsa, turn, and dip into slimmer figures. Both complete aerobic and strength-training workouts raise heart rates and burn calories while allowing women to meet new friends, arrange a girls’ night out between laboured breaths, or plan a wardrobe of revealing bikinis for their newly svelte doppelgänger action figures.

Electro-pop royalty Ace of Base and Dragonette headline a daylong schedule of euphoric LGBTQ cultural events to close out this year’s seminal North America Outgames. The extravagant proceedings stage an upbeat farewell to a week of thrilling athletic competitions, human-rights workshops, and a full slate of concerts, dance performances, medal presentations, and interactive events. Carole Pope’s new-wave rock and DJ Rafael Calvente’s sonic landscapes team up to shred the airwaves into pieces of pulsing, speaker-shaped origami, and a nearby beer garden battles the long-held misperception that only flowers grow on plants.

Fast Track passes whisk guests to the front of lines for homegrown synth-pop trio Dragonette and Swedish superstars Ace of Base. The outdoor waterfront at the Plaza of Nations provides a pleasing backdrop to the vibrant spectacle, which ends with a poignant closing ceremony to recognize the triumphs of participating athletes and the LGBTQ community at large.
