Empowerment + Community through DIY Delight

Sign up for delightful activities to enjoy on your own and with others!

What We Do

Relocal empowers busy people to enjoy simple and delightful moments in daily life. We do this by providing do-it-yourself activity prompts and engaging group experiences that encourage skills development and personal growth. We especially love to partner with local enthusiasts to create opportunities for participants to connect with each other and with their communities.

As the world gets more complex and uncertain, it is more important than ever to slow down and appreciate the joy that simplicity has to offer, so we can keep moving forward with energy and hope. We believe a single special moment can make a person’s day, which in turn makes the world a better place.

Meet Our Community

We are a community of people who enjoy learning and creating special moments together. Past workshops had us making art, exploring neighbourhoods, and learning about the natural world. We like to move slowly and curiously, because we believe meaningful connections can’t be rushed.

Bookstores are much more than a place to buy books Bookstores are much more than a place to buy books. 📚 A place like @bookwarehousevancouver provides a meeting place of people and minds. It's a place that lifts up creators and builds community.

Even during the COVID pandemic, Book Warehouse has been collaborating with authors to host virtual events (details on their website). You can also follow their parent company @blackbondbooks for updates, reviews, and events!

Tip: They have a pretty awesome giveaway right now for @rupikaur_'s highly anticipated poetry special on April 30th, just in time for National Poetry Month. 🎉

Hello Vancouver! 🌞 Hope you are (safely) enjoyi Hello Vancouver! 🌞 Hope you are (safely) enjoying this beautiful spring day! I encourage you to support a local business this weekend. Did you know that local businesses recirculate $63 out of every $100 back into the local economy compared to $14 by multinationals? (Source: @locobc) That's 4.5 times the impact for your community! 

So if you live near Main Street or Broadway/Fairview, you might want to go pick up my self-care activity book at Book Warehouse (@bookwarehousevancouver). The two locations are 4118 Main St (just off King Edward) and 632 West Broadway (just off Ash).

Things to explore in Hastings-Sunrise 📍 As a Ch Things to explore in Hastings-Sunrise 📍 As a Chinese Canadian child who grew up in Burnaby during the 90s, East Van (specifically the Hastings-Sunrise area) was where my family would go for Chinese groceries and restaurant food. So it's pretty cool to see my book now available at @irondogbooks. In this post, I share more recent discoveries in this vibrant neighbourhood. 

Tourists go to Stanley Park but locals know to visit Hastings Park for family fun and New Brighton Park for waterfront recreation (@vanparkboard). 

Hastings-Sunrise offers pretty much every cuisine you'd crave: Palestinian food @tamamfinepalestiniancuisine, Malaysian/Burmese at Laksa King, Italian pastries @pane.e.formaggio and @cannolikingvancouver, vegan Japanese @tama_organic_life, and many more choices for Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese. The area is changing rapidly, so visit Bao Chau for their spring rolls before their building gets redeveloped later this year!

After enjoying delicious goodies, wander down any residential street. There are always beautiful character homes and gardens to discover around every corner.
