So looks like I'll be off to Vancouver sometime this year. Anyone know what the juggling scene is like and/or any active clubs?

The scene is mostly spinners/etc. There are a small handful of jugglers (like, seriously 5) and a HUGE flow arts scene.

Thanks for the heads up. I was talking to a guy from Ontario who said there was a regular club in Victoria, and that there's a couple of good conventions/festival in the area. Still not sure when I'll be going though...

Oh they have great clubs, and a very healthy scene. Just a warning that if you're looking for tech jugglers then you'll find about one :-)
Here's a video from the fest a couple weeks ago. I was invited to perform and very much enjoyed it, a whole different vibe than I'm used to.

Vancouver has only one active club that I know of. The place is very fun and they meet every Wednesday from 8 p.m. to 12 at Sideshow Studios (15 West 2nd Avenue)
Usually 10 to 25 people show up every Wednesday and last time I went there I recorded this video:

They also meet on Sundays in different places, to know more about Sunday you can send an email to tara_ohta@hotmail.com

It's worth noting that adverse is the person I spoke to you (mrawa) about, and the one noslowerdna is referring to.

Awesome, thanks for the info guys! Hopefully I'll be able to find out when I actually go soon!
