If you have any questions contact Jenny As wavelengths of light are molecularly scattered through the atmosphere, our sky of blue is reflected by the sea. The early origins of the word Blue meant shimmering and lustrous. Now whether cobalt, azure, ultramarine, grey, periwinkle or any other shade, the colour blue represents Nature's images of water, sea and sky, while evoking a feeling of tranquility, solace, imagination and trust. The Vancouver Cantata Singers offer a concert of music exploring BLUE featuring a new VCS commission by Marcel Bergmann and works by Stanford, Bingham, Barber, Webern, Górecki, Delius, Whitacre and more!
Date and time Sun, Feb 18, 2024 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM Location ANNEX Theatre 823 Seymour St Vancouver, BC V6B 3L4 Click here to buy tickets: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/blue-tickets-627788320767 The Vancouver Minor Softball Association (“VMSA”) is a non-profit sports association providing softball programming for young athletes up to 19 years old. Our organization provides opportunities primarily for girls and young women in the City of Vancouver, however, we are inclusive of all gender identifications.
We believe increasing youth participation in softball is extremely important for girls and young women, as it will enhance their physical, mental, emotional, and cognitive development. More specifically, VMSA believes that providing access to softball provides young female athletes opportunities to develop: softball skills (across multiple areas); confidence; leadership; decision making; friendship and camaraderie; and other life skills. You can read more about the VMSA and our vision and philosophies at http://vmsa.ca/page.php?page_id=94702. Our league runs from April to June and we have opened registration for the 2024 season. We have more than five (5) past registrants from your school, however, we would love to build upon that and grow that representation in our Association - we would love to further promote softball and the benefits of playing sport in your school community. Financial assistance is available for families that need it, we want to remove all barriers to playing our sport. We have also scheduled six clinics, free of charge, to anyone that wants to come out to try softball. These clinics will take place over three Saturdays in February and March. We are planning the first one to be indoors, while we are hopeful we will be able to run the March clinics outdoors (we will have an indoor option as a backup). Details on these clinics are located here: https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/417574/signups/new Pedalheads Bike is a learn-to-ride camp known for taking kids from training wheels to two wheel to road riding. We combine a fun group setting with specialized equipment, tailored cycling lessons, and incredible instructors to build confidence and get some of the most tentative kids biking on their own.
