RunGo Dash for Dogs returns in support of BC and Alberta Guide Dogs. This guided 10K, 5K or 2K run or walk takes participants through Stanley Park, starting at the Brockton Pavilion. 100% of the proceeds from this fundraiser support the organization’s Guide and Service Dog programs.
RunGo Dash for Dogs
When: Sunday February 23th, 2020 Starting Location: Brockton Pavilion (1151 Stanley Park Drive, Vancouver) Registration:Online here » Start Times: 10km: 9:40 am, 5km 9:50 am, 2k 10:00 am
After the run there will be a social event, with pancakes, prizes and a chance to meet puppies in training from BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. Participants can take part in a “blindfold walk”, where the dogs in advanced training will guide them through an obstacle course.
Craig Slagel is the Founder of RunGo and has been supporting BC & Alberta Guide Dogs with this event for five consecutive years. In that time, Dash for Dogs has raised over $65,000 for the organization. This year, the goal is to raise $25,000.
“There are limited spots remaining in each of the participation categories,” says Craig. “However, even if you can’t attend the event, you can still sign up to run virtually and help us raise money no matter where you live.”
Guide and Service Dogs, as well as good dogs are welcome at the event. All dogs must be on leash and under control at all times for the safety of the working dogs. This is a race for people to support dogs, but you don’t need a dog to run.

The closest to an RV experience I’ve had was when John and I recently camped in the Yukon – and as lifelong tent-camper, I felt really, really spoiled. How dreamy it was to have a well-equipped vehicle/home on wheels for our adventure!

It’s been a few years since I used the Sprinkles Cupcake ATM in Los Angeles but when it comes to automated machines for treats, this one’s just as exciting. Vancouver’s first smoothie vending machine is popping-up outside the Parker Street Studios (1000 Parker St, Vancouver) starting February 25, 2020.
Vancouver’s First Smoothie Vending Machine
“We are excited to launch Vancouver’s first smoothie vending machine,” says Carissa Campeotto, who co-founded Trendy Vending Inc. with partner Craig McIntosh. “It just seemed like a natural fit for our city! We are debuting the machine with several fruit smoothies, but are actively working on new blends to include plant-based protein, vegetables, and superfoods.”
The Smoothie Machine is essentially a robot that makes plant-based smoothies to-order in less than one minute. Nothing is pre-mixed. The smoothies are blended with water, ice, and a touch of Stevia. They are also pasteurized for safe consumption.
The menu is made up of six flavours featuring 100 percent pure fruit and includes Mango Tango, Passion Peach, Pineapple Glory, Cool Banana, and Tropical Berry.
Each smoothie is $6 for 16oz, contains two to three servings of fruit, and 200 calories or less. The packaging is compostable and recyclable, the machine itself uses sustainable energy. Eventually, Campeotto hopes to allow customers to utilize their own reusable cups.
The smoothie vending machine was invented by Rodolfo Piedrabuen, a systems engineer with more than 30 years of experience in automation, robotics, and software development. With the goal of bringing convenience and affordability to the world’s 9 billion dollar smoothie market, he designed and developed a fully automated machine for preparing frozen beverages in an on-demand process.
The machines have been successfully tested in various locations around the world over the last 2.5 years. The Smoothie Machine will also debut at the Canadian Health Food Association (“CHFA”) West conference on February 23 and 24, 2020 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West.
