An Update from Vancity!

This past January, CISV Vancouver hosted our annual winter mini-camp. It was a great chance for everyone to catch up, and we welcomed some new faces too. Our buddy system paired these newcomers up with existing members so that everyone felt welcome. To kick off the night, our mosaic team prepared a thought-provoking activity for both the JB and the parents. We learnt about a growing issue that we face as citizens of a developed and privileged country like Canada; the privatization of one of our most basic resources, water.

On Saturday morning, we rose bright and early to commence a full day of activities, centring around the theme of revolution. A number of activities were planned around the theme including an abuse of power simulation. This was fun...for some of us. Maybe not so fun for those who were forced to march around in the rain for an hour. Regardless, the camp was a great success for us as a chapter, and we are looking forward to our next big event...Cookie Bake!
