Variety – the Children’s Charity and Global BC have announced that the 3rd Annual Variety Week will take place from Monday, October 22 to Friday, October 26, 2018.

Variety Week on Global BC 2018
Throughout the week, Global BC will be showcasing the work that Variety does to help BC kids with special needs and their families.
In addition to calling and donating, viewers from across the province will be able to register to have their own fundraising page set up online. The new platform allows individuals and groups to connect with friends, families and co-workers in support of kids with special needs.
Variety Week will wrap up with Global News Hour at 6 broadcasting live from Robson Square on Friday, October 26, 2018. Last year’s Variety Week saw Variety raise an incredible $835,000. Donations can be made by calling toll-free at 310-KIDS and as well, they can be made online at variety.bc.ca or by texting “KIDS” to 45678 to make an automatic $20 contribution.
For more information about Variety BC, including the upcoming Gold Heart Gala, follow along on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

For over 50 years, Variety has ensured children have the support to reach their potential. Since 2010, Variety has distributed more than $30 million in funding to families and organizations in communities all across the province.

After winning the Great Canadian Laugh Off, Chris set his academic degrees aside (BAs in English and Political Science), quit his stable job, sold his house, and hit the road to do what he loves best – drinking, making people laugh, and reclaiming his name after enduring over a decade of awful “Family Guy” jokes.

Along with your SkyRide or Grind to the top, the lumberjack show, and a visit with grizzlies Grinder and Coola, this new attraction is an amusingly challenging addition to the activities lineup at the Peak of Vancouver.
A little “welp!” from me, before latching my trolley onto the demo course zipline as our guide Matt watched our group learn the ropes – literally and figuratively.
A “wahoo!” from our adventurous nephew as he left the first full zipline tower and sailed over a pond.
And a calculated, “Ok.” from John before his feet left the platform and he soared between the evergreens completing his first line of the course.
A little fear, a whole lot of adrenaline and excitement, and a seriously decent workout rolled into one action-packed activity. Continue reading this post ⟩⟩
