Happy November everyone!

Christmas is just around the corner as we finish with our Halloween season. The kids had a blast this year with pumpkin carving, dressing up in costumes and all the trick or treat stories we heard last week.

Our Halloween Monday was full of new faces! At Junior OSC we had some superheroes in attendance like Batman, Supergirl and Ironman. We were also taken into new storybook worlds with our lovely Alice in Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, and Dory. Everyone’s costumes looked fantastic, as were the stories told the next day after trick or treating.

Some of our kids’ favourite memories of Halloween are pumpkin carving, treat or treating, the scary decorations on houses, getting candy and watching fireworks. Our program had a great experience buddying up with some of the Seniors from OSC to carve pumpkins during the last two weeks of October.

Our Assistant Leader Kevin was collecting candy after Halloween for an outreach program that his high school was participating in. The program helps the homeless in downtown Vancouver by distributing various necessities that people need. It was a great moment seeing some of the kids bring in candy donations for this cause.

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween and I can’t wait to see what the Christmas season brings us!
