We run because we can
After a few days of high winds and rain we took the opportunity to get out to the water and trails of Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver and bask in the sunshine.
Today Streetfront participated in the 3rd Annual Alt. Bowling Tournament at REVS along with 10 other VSB alternative schools. While we didn’t win the Bergeron Cup we had several strikes, too many gutter balls to count and a lot of fun! Thanks to Foundation Alt. for hosting yet another fun tournament and congratulations to Outreach Alternative for winning the tournament!!
I wish the general public can see these tournaments, the annual Arts Fair and Sports Days when Vancouver’s Alt. Schools come together because they would see a diverse, talented and energetic group of youth.
We start every September off with a camp trip to bond as a class/family/team. The school year looks very promising with this great bunch of youth!
Softball is the first of several sports tournaments that brings together some of Vancouver’s Alternative School together for friendly competition. Our Streetfront students did outstanding winning the Junior division and second overall against the winning Senior team! Well done all!

It doesn’t take Streetfront long to get back into high gear. On only the 2nd Friday back with only 3 training runs prior, 11 allstars got their gear on, ignored the rain and hammered out a run from Britannia to Deep Cove, North Vancouver.
Special thanks to Constable Brandon Steele for running alongside us and to Barry Skillin for doing the pick up.
Great work kids.

Beautiful day and we got the Streetfront crew out to Lighthouse Park for a fabulous day.
Nothing more than watching kids play in a beautiful setting. Nothing on their minds other than being kids.
A near perfect day.

Last week’s monthly visit from the staff and volunteers from the Environmental Youth Alliance (EYA) had us learning about our Mason Bees and giving them some TLC. Opening the nest tubes we saw the difference in the male and female cocoon’s. We saw strong healthy cocoons and those that were affected by mites, maggots and other creatures determined to destroy our pollinators. Collecting all the cocoons they were then given a gentle bath and left to dry. Once dried they will be placed in a ziplock bag and stored in a fridge until spring. It was a excellent experience and felt good to be giving our crucial pollinators a better chance of survival.
Hello Streetfront Fans.
We are hoping that the spam-filled issues we’ve had on the blog may be behind us.
Please keep checking out the amazing things Streetfront is up to. I’ll fill you in on the past 12 months over the next few weeks.
