Black Eyed Peace's latest pop-hop effort, The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies), is one of the biggest blockbusters of the past nine months — with three No. 1 singles, including Boom Boom Pow and I Gotta Feeling, which recently was honoured with a Grammy for best pop performance by a duo or group.

They will be in Vancouver on April 11 and they will perform at General Motors Place at 7.30 PM.

The Peas, starring Fergie, will.i.am, Taboo and apl. de. ap, will also stop in Toronto (July 27, 28), Montreal (July 31), Ottawa (Aug. 1), Winnipeg (Aug. 18), Saskatoon (Aug. 20) and Calgary (Aug. 22).

According to a news release sent on March 2nd by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, The Greater Vancouver housing market continued to experience strong demand from homebuyers and an increase in total property listings in a month where the eyes of the world were focused on the region.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Greater Vancouver totalled 2,473 in February 2010, an increase of 67.1 per cent compared to February 2009 when 1,480 sales were recorded and a 28.6 per cent increase compared to the 1,923 sales recorded in January 2010.

Over the last 12 months, the MLSLink® Housing Price Index (HPI) benchmark price for all residential properties in Greater Vancouver increased 19.7 per cent to $581,911 from $486,054 in February 2009. This price is 2.4 per cent above the previous high point in the market in May 2008 when the residential benchmark price sat at $568,411.

"We don't know at this point what long-term impact the Olympics will have on our housing market, but we do know that activity in our market remained steady through all of the excitement and distraction of the last few weeks," Scott Russell, REBGV president said.

"In February, for example, 110 sales were recorded on the MLS® in downtown Vancouver. That's higher than 2009 and slightly lower than the mid-2000s, which is consistent with data from the overall market. It's too soon to say whether that's an Olympic effect," Russell said.

Vancouver Olympics have officially ended. After 17 days of competitions on ice or snow, dozens of success stories and 86 Olympic titles, here are some of the most memorable moments in Vancouver in 2010.

Sidney Crosby beats USA and brings the Olympic title to Canada

Of all the titles, none was more desired than the one for the best hokey players in the world. Canada won against the United States of America, the team that had managed to beat the Canadians in the Olympic tournament.

The winning goal was scored by Canadian superstar Sidney Crosby (22 years). This is the 8th Olympic ice hockey title won by Canada after those in 1920 (Antwerp), 1924 (Chamonix), 1928 (St. Moritz), 1932 (Lake Placid), 1948 (St. Moritz), 1952 ( Oslo) and 2002 (Salt Lake City).

Nodar Kumaritasvil's death

Just a few hours before the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Vancouver, the whole world was shaken by the tragedy of Georgian Kumaritasvili Nodar, who lost his life during training in test runs. The young man was just 21 years old and died shortly after he hit a steel pillar, despite medical intervention. He lost control of his sled, leaving the track with almost 150 kmh.

Kim Yu-na's almost perfect performance

The South Corean Kim Yu-na won the Olympic title for figure skating, obtaining the best score in history. Although there isn't a perfect score in skating, Kim Yu-na (19 years old) managed to conquer the public's heart. Kim Yu-na is considered a true heroine in her country, and experts already consider her one of the most valuable skaters participating at the Winter Olympic Games.

Sven Kramer's error

Kramer, who won the Olympic title in Vancouver in 2010 at the 5,000 meters trial, was the main favorite in the 10,000 meters race. He was four seconds faster than South Korean Lee Seung-Hoon, setting a new Olympic record after an exhausting race and thought he won a new Olympic title.

However, he was disqualified eight laps before the final because he entered by the wrong entry. Sven Kramer missed the opportunity to become the first skater who wins two titles in the same edition of Olympic Games.

Lysacek dethroned Plusenko

Evan Lysacek was one of the biggest surprises at this edition, beating the Russian Evgeni Plusenko at the figure skating trial. Lysacek became the first American to win the Olympic for figure skating. Last time, this title was won by Brian Boitano in 1988 in Calgary.

Joanne Rochette skated to two days after the death of her mother

The Canadian skater Joanne Rochette learned about the death of her mother 60 hours before the competition. Rochette had an excellent performence at the competition, winning the bronze medal.

Simon Ammann, the "flying" Swiss

Simon Ammann flew from the Olympic's big trampoline straight to his fourth Olympic title. Ammann also won the Olympic title in Whistler.
