Vancouver Mom to Follow: Julia of Kokopelli Café
This week’s Vancouver Mom to Follow is Julia, who recently moved here from Russia with her husband and two kids, a 7-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl. With a background in economics, she decided to try something new upon arriving in Canada, which is to say taking over the long-time, family friendly Cafe in Dunbar, Kokopelli. Her heart leans towards child-centred and socially valuable activities so she’s thrilled to be revamping this kid-oriented coffeehouse where local families get together to spend quality time.
