Annual Downtown Vancouver Spring Clean-Up
7th and Main, Turtle Place, Downtown Vancouver
Join Vancouver's Downtown Association and an army of volunteers as we rake up, sweep up, clean up, and shine up our downtown to get it ready for a busy summer of fun. The ravages of winter are behind us. Let's roll up our sleeves! It will be fun! Bagels will be provided by Sunrise Bagels. The coffee will be covered by Torque Coffee. Bring your tools. We would love to have you with us. Let's create a whirlwind.....
Please note that we are pleased to be cooperating with Solv Oregon for this event. It will save lots of time the morning of the event if you have gone to their website and pre-registered. It will be helpful if you will follow this link
Second Annual Food & Film Series
No Impact Man
On May 22, 2012, Vancouver Watersheds Alliance will be hosting a FREE screening of No Impact Man
Author Colin Beavan, in research for his next book, began the No Impact Man Project in nobember 2006. A newly self-proclaimed environmentalist who could no longer avoid pointing the finger at himself, Colin leaves behind his complacency and vows to make as little environmental impact as possible for one year. No more automated transportation, no more electricity, no more non-local food, no more material consumption...no problem. That is, until his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife, Michelle, and their two year-old daughter are dragged into the fray.
The screening will be held at the downtown Vancouver Library from 6 - 9pm. There will be FREE food and a great discussion to follow with a panel of local experts! This is a family friendly event, and we hope to see you all there!
