Best of Vancouver: The Arts Connection Takes top Arts for Kids Honours

In March we asked you to nominate your favourite arts for kids venues for our latest Best of Vancouver feature. You came through, and we tallied the results to come up with our Top 30 Best of Vancouver Arts for Kids list. Then we asked you to vote for your top picks, and once again you came through. However, only one can take Best of Vancouver honours. Once all the votes were counted, the winner was (drumroll, please) … The Arts Connection in Richmond.
