Joining Village Vancouver + Spaghetti Dinners + Block Parties
Hi, I'm eager to get engaged with Village Vancouver events. I know several of the steering committee members and live in Kits in a Housing Coop.

I'm organizing a block party for Carfree Days in Kits - on Sunday, June 20. You're all invited.
