Xtra Living

The best of gay and lesbian Vancouver

Welcome to the first edition of Xtra Living, our new slice of urban living.

Twice a year Xtra will publish this sleek magazine to showcase some of Vancouver’s greatest hits.

Xtra Living is packed with neighbourhood profiles, fun new products and extensive listings that let you make the most of the city — it’s a unique discovery guide to all things gay in Vancouver through the winter.

Pick up a copy at our office on Davie Street or read the PDF online.

In this edition, we visit gritty, chic Gastown in search of hidden treasure, pause for coffee and organics on the Drive, and enjoy food, drinks and more in the Davie Village.

Make Xtra Living your reference guide to the best of gay and lesbian Vancouver — and keep it around until the new edition comes out in April. Until then, happy shopping and bon appétit!
