Our sponsors were Vancouver property agencies from Canada and inspiredhomes.com from our neck of the woods! Come and enjoy the day with us and see just how our communit has flourished. We are also accepting RE/MAX to help our community with first time buyers seminars (for those looking to enter the realty market for the first time, perhaps with a small condo or a "humble piece" of vancouver bc real estate), and also a more advanced seminar for home buyers and sellers (for those perhaps downsizing from a home or expanding their needs to search for a bigger house).

Yoga For Free



Try out a few activities in town to see just how much fun you can have with Yoga. We often are in awe of just how amazing Canadians up in the North of the border love this practice, even setting up urban Ashrams like this free Yoga Teacher Training centre. Canadians love Yoga, and this is precisely why we should too. After all they are very peaceful! One thing I learned about Yoga is that it really soothes stress allowing us to go about our daily lives with a lot more ease and effectiveness.
