District Local is run by Pearl Lam and Sylvia Tuason, two communications and marketing pros with a lifelong love affair for uncovering Vancouver’s gems and experiencing all that our beloved hometown has to offer. From tucked-away coffee shops to the best happy hours, comedy shows or weekend craft markets, we’re dedicated to discovering and sharing the city through our lens. We’re here to shine a light on the people who make Vancouver special—small business owners, local artists, community builders—and our mission is simple: to nudge you out of your comfort zone and inspire you to try something new just around the corner.
