changes and charities

It’s only been in the past week or two that i’ve heard about the changes to my morning commute. granville street from robson to cordova will be shut off to vehicle traffic for about 2 years – starting monday. you can check out the new stops etc at www.canadaline.ca. as i stepped off the bus this morning there was a chick handing out cute lil cards with pop-up route maps to inform commuters.

on the elevator this morning there was a blurb about Glam Day.

Glam Day© is Ovarian Cancer Canada’s new awareness initiative. It’s happening on May 12th, the Friday before Mother’s Day….Think of Glam Day© as the diametric opposite of wearing jeans to work and you’ll get the picture!

Coming up next week we have Jeans Day April 27th – benefitting the BC Children’s Hospital. Sunday is the Sun Run, this year it will be benefiting The Vancouver Sun’s Raise-a-Reader campaign and B.C.’s amateur athletes. There’s a whole bunch of fun activities going on in the city which help support some really great causes. As previously mentioned we’re also thinking of participating in the Run for Light – for BC Blind Sports and as noted on a podcast we did yesterday (which I don’t think is posted yet) the Weekend to End Breast Cancer is coming in August.
EDIT: the latest ‘miss604 on RadioZoom’ podcast episode is now posted.
