SkyTrain map gets a superhero makeover
|
Are you a Marvel fan? Do you enjoy getting lost in the world of superheroes and supervillains? Hold onto your capes, as the Avengers have officially invaded Metro Vancouver’s SkyTrain stations! That’s right, each SkyTrain station in the region has become an honourary destination in the Marvel universe with this reimagined SkyTrain map. The map is part of a community partnership with organizers of the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N experience to support and encourage superfans to get there via transit, just steps from Brentwood Town Centre Station.
We renamed our station names after locations in the Marvel universe.
Where to find the Avengers SkyTrain map
Transit riders will see this Avengers SkyTrain map at five locations across the region:
- The Nexus of All Realities Station (Waterfront)
- Sovereign Station (King George)
- Titan Station (Rupert)
- Mirror Dimension Station (Braid)
- Mount Wundergore–University Station (Production Way–University)
So, if you find yourself in any of these five stations, keep an eye out to see which part of the Marvel universe you’ve landed in. Who knows, maybe they’ll lead you to a new adventure. After all, with great signage comes great responsibility, right?

Important updates regarding the Bob-Birnie Arena
|
The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.
For all information about the Bob-Birnie arena, visit the arena’s page on our website.

Surprise Apple Event Hints at First New iPads in Years – CNET
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
