Sears Great Canadian Chill

Michel and I helped host the Sears Great Canadian Chill in English Bay this weekend. The weather was AWFUL. But the downpour didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits — as more than $20,000 was raised to help fund oncology units at hospitals across the country — including BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

For more information visit this website.

Congrats to everyone who took part in the Polar Bear Swim in English Bay. You’re much braver than we are!

LATEST TRANSIT NEWS FRIDAY FEBRUARY 17th 6:23am

posted on February 17th, 2012 - Filed in Uncategorized - 1 comment »

Due to a trolley overhead issue at Broadway and Commercial, service along both routes will be slower than usual this morning. The trolley buses (#9 and #20) are getting through, pulling the poles, running on auxiliary power past the problem area and then re-connecting — that will slow those services down. 99 B-Line is going all the way to Boundary Loop, instead of turning at Grandview Loop, and doing local pickups and dropoffs to assist with the #9. That will cause considerable delays on that schedule. On top of all that, traffic is getting extremely congested in the area.

HASTINGS STREET CLOSURE TRANSIT REROUTES

posted on February 10th, 2012 - Filed in Uncategorized - 1 comment »

Hastings street is currently closed due to a crash overnight.

 

Diesel service is routing via Renfrew, McGill and Cassiar back to Hastings; trolleys are routing via Renfrew, Broadway and Boundary Loop.

 

That means there’s currently no trolley service in or out of Kootenay Loop. Customers planning to get a trolley bus will need to take a diesel — the 135 or 160 — and transfer on Hastings and Renfrew.

 

No word on how long this will be.
