Spring break staycations: how to take a break in beautiful BC


Spring break is an excellent time for family travel, but you don't have to hop a plane abroad to have fun. With a little creativity, and your BCAA Membership, you can enjoy quality family time close to home and on a reasonable budget. Here's how to fill your spring break with affordable adventures, nature and some relaxation.

Explore your own backyard

Sometimes the best vacations are around the corner. This spring break, reserve your tickets, tables and backyard seating for:

  • Dining out (or in!): Treat the family to a night out at restaurants like Montana’s or Original Joe’s, where you can save with your BCAA Membership. Rather stay in? Plan a family cooking night at home and try out some fun and interactive recipes like pizza, sushi or tacos. Get fresh and healthy ingredients from Meridian Farm Market, Ralph's Farm Market and Meridian Meats & Seafood and save 5% on orders over $100 online (with FREE next day delivery in select areas) and in-store with your BCAA Membership.
  • Local attractions: Sometimes we forget to appreciate the things we have close by.
  • Movie magic: Create your own backyard theatre with an outdoor projector, movie screen, blankets and buttery popcorn! Or if you want a real big screen (and big comfy reclining seats), save up to 25% on Movie Night Bundles at Landmark Cinemas.
  • Farm fun: Meet the animals at Aldor Acres Family Farm in Fort Langley, then walk and explore the local area afterwards that is used as a location used in many Hallmark movies. Maplewood Farm in North Vancouver is also a great spot for some animal magic, including pony rides and bunny feeding.
  • If you’re on the island, stop in at the Old Country Market in Coombs on Vancouver Island for gifts, groceries, great food and to spot some goats on the roof!
