SURREY 鈥� Want some music with that lunch of yours?

The are in full swing at Central City鈥檚 outdoor plaza, which looks and feels like a Canadian cottage backyard these days.

Set up in June, the temporary 鈥淧ARKit 150 pop-up park鈥� celebrates Canada鈥檚 150th birthday with a fixed canoe, painted lake, beaver dam, picnic tables, Adirondack chairs and other elements created by North Vancouver-based landscape artist Amy Tsang.

The 鈥渨ooden dock鈥� doubles as a stage for 鈥淣oontime Notes,鈥� a new concert series launched on July 4 and held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Last Wednesday (July 19), people gathered to eat lunch in the midday sun and listen to music made by guitar-strumming , a Kitsilano resident who鈥檚 been active on the local scene for a couple of decades.
