Calling all drivers! The Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society is a not-for-profit organization that provides complimentary transportation for Lower Mainland residents battling cancer. In 2024, for the first time ever, volunteers covered more than one million kilometres in a single year, and they’re currently seeking more drivers to help fill the need.

With the growing need, the organization is constantly seeking more volunteers to help drive patients who often have no other way to get to their appointments. VCDS does provide a small allowance for their drivers’ car expenses based on distance driven.

Workout for Women’s Day returns for its 6th year, March 3-8, 2025, teaming up with Vancouver’s movement studios and instructors to celebrate International Women’s Day.  Join by-donation classes for charities that support girls, women, and other marginalized genders.

Workout for Women’s Day 2025

Here’s how it works:

• Donate to the cause of your choice (consider what you’d spend on a drop-in class, or donate what you can). The beneficiaries this year are:
  • Battered Women’s Support Services
  • Cause We Care Foundation
  • Dress for Success Vancouver
• Check the schedule and find workout classes you’d like to participate in. They have had everything from Barre and Self-Defence, to Yoga, Zumba, a Forest Stroll, and so much more.
• Register for your class(ess) and you’re good to go!

This grassroots, volunteer driven campaign created and run by the Stronger Together Vancouver Team has raised more than $194,000 since it began in 2019.
