Longest Day of the Year, 4th annual

With a grey, dark rainy Saturday, we were all very concerned about the weather for Sunday. We have lucked out the last 3 years and not had rain. And we lucked out again!

Waking up to clouds, and a dark one over Vancouver, the grass was damp on arrival, however no rain and sunny blue sky's as the day went on.

Thank you to everyone who attending in supporting
The Travel Group and the Vancouver Downtown East Side
with our 4^th annual event.

Each year we add a more to the event, in hopes to make it bigger and better.

This year Marie from Insight toWellness was invited to do a pre-race stretch.

Alam was the first to cross the finish line taking the first honors

many were hot on his heels

The fastest runner this year was Alar.

A frist timer, and hopefully not his last.

Our 4 legged contestants were said to slow our walkers down with all the stopping and sniffing, but they enjoyed the walk, and some play time with their new squeeky toys.

There were limited contestants for Sexy Shorts this year.

Karen took the prize with her mint green shorts.

The day was full of laughs, food and fun.

Raising money for the Vancouver Downtown Eastside.

5th Annual Fundraising Golf Tournament for Mesothelioma

Our clients are at it again, this time fundraising towards the Western Canadian Mesothelioma Foundation, with a fundraising Golf Tournament.

The BCICA (British Columbia Insulation Contractors Association) 5^th Annual Golf Tournament was held on June 22^nd 2012. The Travel Group does not have any avid golfers to put up to the golfing challenge so we supported this year with a suitcase full of trinkets for the silent auction.

Relay for Life - Support Annie

The Travel Group's Annie, will be  walking in the Relay For Life, North Shore, as she does every year.

A cancer survivor herself and cancer free since 1993. Annie has participated in this event for 10 years, as part of the North Lonsdale United Church Team.

All day there are bands playing as teams walk the track. There are different themed laps. 3 legged lap, a walk backwards, hop on one foot, & wearing a funny hat, just to name a few.

The last lap is very moving. The luminaries are lit which line the track. These are paper bags filled with sand, and a tea lights.  On the bag is written "in memory", "in support" or "in honour" of a person affected by cancer. At dusk, everyone walks around the track in silence holding a lit candle.

Annie relays in memory of friends that have lost their battle with cancer, too many and way too young.  Support Annie by helping her reach her fundraising goal.

Relay For Life, Mahon Park, North Vancouver
June 9, 2012. 10:00am - 10:00pm
