Staged in a sports bar-inspired gallery, Momentum brings together artifacts, photography, and boundary-pushing contemporary art to reclaim a place in Canadian sports history that was always earned but rarely told.

Richmond’s House of Dawn has launched a set menu w Richmond’s House of Dawn has launched a set menu worthy of an extended lunch hour. Chef James Yang’s steakhouse in an unassuming shopping plaza has quietly become one of the most upscale dining rooms in Richmond, and the new three-course prix-fixe lunch menu is the latest reason to make a reservation. Available daily from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the $70 menu opens with your choice of Burrata from Puglia, Wagyu Tartare, Foie Gras Parfait, or Lobster Bisque with a half butter-poached tail. Mains range from an Iberico Tomahawk to Asian-spiced Ora King Salmon to a Summer Corn Risotto. A classic Crème Brûlée to close things out. It’s a proper unrushed sit-down lunch in a room that takes its craft seriously. @houseofdawnsteakhouse 130-8171 Ackroyd Rd, Richmond
