Cops for Cancer: A Just Cause


Come August 21st Cops for Cancer will be on the 800th block of Granville Street with the dedicated, vigilant staff of law enforcement and emergency to raise more dollars to this great foundation. These hard working folks have shown empathy and even more in this heartfelt story. To think that this started with one child’s dilemma with kids teasing him about being bald from chemo-therapy and a couple of officers shaving their heads to prove being bald is cool to sprout into something so big. This movement of Cops for Cancer started in 1994 and managed to raise 32.8 million dollars. Now the time has come for Vancouver to shine against cancer. Head over for activities such as public head shavings for charity to meeting officers.

22nd Queer Film Festival


The Queer Film Festival is in its final days for the year. The films for the film festival will be shown all over Vancouver including Empire Granville 7 Cinemas. Films are not the only ingredient to this festival but workshops, discussions, parties and much more. Tickets can be purchased online at queerfilmfestival.ca.

Just read about an interesting film called “Fish Child” that will have its final showing at the festival on the 21st. The movie is placed in South America looking at the daughter of an influential well off family falling in love with the poor maid that lives with them. The focus however is on the power struggle and the endeavors they will go through in order to be free of all the problems.
