JULY/AUGUST

FEATURE MEMBER SHARE Family & Community Services SHARE exists to connect, engage, and strengthen individuals and families. Our vision is a strong community that welcomes everyone to live, participate, contribute, and reach their full potential. In 1972, SHARE began as a children’s clothing exchange in the basement of Founder, Gertie Grosser’s home. It quickly grew to become a pillar in the community for people wanting to help and people needing help with life’s challenges. While the programs and services that we deliver have seen some changes over the years, SHARE has remained focused on providing support to people who need it the most. We work to strengthen each individual we serve, as well as the services themselves, the agency, and our community. Everyone is welcomed and everyone belongs. Many people are familiar with the SHARE Food Bank and Christmas Food Hamper and Toy programs. Through these programs and many more, we touch the lives of more than 57,000 community members. Valerie Hutton, Director of Fund Development www.sharesociety.ca valerie.hutton@sharesociety.ca

Local, B.C. Writers delight with Summer Storytime reads

reviewed by Jennifer Pownall

Caroll Simpson’s children’s books showcase her talents through vibrant artwork and the written word. From stories of origin and adventure for young children in her Coastal Spirit Tales series, to sturdier volumes developed to engage infants and toddlers, her works utilize First Nations motifs and elements from the west coast. Even in her board books there is a beautiful connection between the animals featured and the surrounding land or seascape, and embedded within the illustrations are familiar thematic images, further suggestive of the Indigenous mythos by which she is inspired. Simpson’s reverential treatment of the art and stories of the First Peoples of the Northwest Coast is evident in these captivating works, and the additional information provided at the end of her picture books are an excellent resource for parents and educators to draw upon when seeking to deepen a discussion with children about nature or culture.

Sarah and Michael Explore Port Coquitlam is as wonderfully local as a book can be. Written and illustrated by a number of talented artists from the namesake city, this collection of stories has appeal for both kids and adults whether they are residents of PoCo or the Tri-Cities, have lived or spent time in Metro Vancouver, or are simply interested in historical accounts shared through the lens of a children’s book. By using the common thread of the two young protagonists – as well as their friends and family – six different authors have scribed tales that examine some of the elements that have shaped Port Coquitlam. From archeological digs to visits from UR\DOW\ IURP WHUULEOH Ŵ RRGV WR WKH origins of landmarks, this anthology will spark community pride and encourage every reader to get out and explore!

Blowing Kisses and Fist Bumps, WKH Ɠ UVW WZR SLFWXUH ERRNV E\ children’s writer Jaime Windle, explain the steps involved in the perfect youthful gestures these titles promise.

Port Coquitlam Farmers Market The Port Coquitlam Farmers Market is kicking off its 10th season! The Market Team is inviting you to join them for Celebration Carrot Cake on opening day, June 7, at 4pm. Since 2009, the Farmers Market has been a popular spot with people of all ages who love local food, music, art and community events. Regular visitors to the Market have often remarked that the season is short, and they would continue to shop the Market for their fall Thanksgiving meals. Due to overwhelming request, this year the Market is extending the season by two weeks and will stay open every Thursday, rain or shine, until October 11.

When and Where The Farmers Market is open every Thursday 3pm – 7pm, from June 7 to October 11, 2018. The Market takes place in Leigh Square, beside the Port Coquitlam City Hall, just off Shaughnessy Street. PARKING

Why Shop Local? It helps the community In today’s global marketplace, it means a lot to your community when you choose to shop local producers and downtown Port Coquitlam businesses. The impact of your purchasing doubles because it creates a local multiplier effect when the money circulates within the community. A BC study showed the combined economic impact generated by Farmers Markets was $65.3 million, based on consumer spending of $32.63 million, a local multiplier effect of 2.0. And Farmers Market customers directly spend $53.3 million at local surrounding businesses . Why Shop Local? It helps your health Today we’re more health-conscious than ever, and we want to know how our food was produced. Curious about farming practices?

There is always an occasion to make someone's day. Celebrate absolutely ANY occasion with a greeting as big as your yard. Have you ever been stumped as to what to get someone for their birthday or anniversary? There are times when a plain old card just won’t do. Card the Yard is a yard greeting rental service that will set up and take down fun personalized yard greetings for special occasions and milestones with the emphasis on a surprise. Greetings are typically delivered and set up after dark and removed after 24 hours the following day. We have inventory of individual letters, numbers and special characters that allow each greeting to be personalized with a phrase, name and occasion. We are the very FIRST of its kind in Canada.... and we can spell any phrase you want!
