When the weather turns cooler, it's also a great time for grownups to expand their skills, take up a hobby, or learn something new.
Continuing Education at Capilano University offers a host of programs this fall, among them, Good Living, courses that ensure you will Eat, Explore and Experience.
Find out about foodie secrets around Vancouver, learn the basics of wine appreciation or indulge in a closer examination of B.C.'s own wine industry with wine writer Jurgen Gothe. Or, get schooled in the world of beer, cook your own meal at Wild Rice or watch a cooking demo at Le Bistro Chez Michel.
If exploring is your passion, the university offers courses on budget (and even free) travel, and home exchanges; while under the Experience category, courses include how to search your family history, weight loss, Midnight Movie Madness, and an Introduction to Celestial Navigation.
As always, the Continuing Education department offers courses on fine and applied arts, including drawing, painting and photography. Music courses run the gamut, fiddling to guitar and choir.
Writing classes include one on flash fiction, new offerings on character creation, story structure and developing a feature film concept, plus classes on memoir writing and first-person narratives.
Other programs include language, business and computer skills, the Children's Community Music School, and the ever-popular Eldercollege.
