Events

Community Day

In support of the City of Vancouver’s environmental and community engagement Initiatives, the Vancouver-Strathcona Basketball Club created the healthy living
community project. This has become an annual project with the intention to promote and educate inner-city children and youth about the importance of healthy nutrition, sustainable living, and community participation. It has also enabled a platform and experience for young leaders to plan, develop and implement a community initiative in the inner city neighborhood through active
games, education, role modeling, mentorship and leadership. This year’s project was held on at Strathcona Community Centre, and well attended by over 100 youth and children.

Chinatown Cleanup

Partnering with Keep Vancouver Spectacular, our VSBC members joined the Vancouver Chinatown Merchants Association and the Chinatown Business Improvement Area Society in a collaborative effort to keep the streets of Chinatown clean. A group of 60 from our men, women and U18 girls teams plus several Strathcona Youth Council members spent the morning sweeping through the streets and alleys before joining the CMA and CBIA for a celebratory BBQ. This is an annual event that we are proud to be a part of!
