Our donor talked about their mother (pictured below with her good friend). "My mother was fortunate to have good support in her later years, but she also understood what it meant to struggle, as she had earlier in her life. During difficult times, she was always very grateful for the help she received from others--whether for her physical or emotional needs, and she always tried to give back when she could."![]()

Celebrating Halloween and Dia de los muertos at 411. It may have been grey outside, but it was a colourful afternoon in the the Centre!
Last week we invited the community to our open house--an annual tradition since we moved into our Fraser Street location. The day started with a traditional welcome from Jason Hanika of of the Sḵwx̱wúʔmesh (Squamish) Nation. The remainder of the day was filled with performances from participants in our various programs while staff at our information table outside the Centre engaged with local neighbours and passers-by to share our story and promote our services. We finished the day with a 50/50 draw to benefit the many seniors served by 411. (Congratulations to winner, Mercedes!) Thank you to Save-On-Foods and Mish Mish Bakery for your support.
