????? Greater Vancouver is a melting pot of cultures and languages with many different groups contributing their unique customs and traditions to the social fabric of our neighbourhoods. What we all have in common is the enjoyment we can find in our homes, whether they be trendy downtown condos, or large houses in the suburbs. This edition of BC Home magazine takes an inside look at some of our region's most beautiful homes and shares advice that ranges from planning a major renovation to redecorating a small room. Canada Wide Media Limited is proud to have partnered with Park Lane Media to deliver this Chinese edition of BC Home-our fi rst translated publication-to one of Greater Vancouver's most vibrant communities. ? ? ??????????????????? ??,?????????????????? ???????? ? ? ?????????,????????? ??,????????????????,? ?????????? ? ?
