On April 25th three Streetfront students along with Trevor spoke at a school assembly at Dr. R.E.O. McKechnie Elementary School. Jasper, Nick and Jesse did a fantastic job speaking to the young students about their experiences at Streetfront, their marathon running accomplishments and Streetfront’s Street2Peak Project: Mt. Kilimanjaro. This talk is one of many to come over the years as part of a mission of the S2P Project to have youth inspire youth to go beyond what they think is possible, to reinforce that it doesn’t matter where you come from – it matters where you...

Here is your chance to support the Street2Peak initiative in a huge way. When you register – as an individual, family or corporate group, 100% of the registration fees goes to putting 18 at-risk youth on the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro! This fun event is best shared with many friends, family or co-workers. If you have pre-registered make sure you are there at 9:00 am for the warm-up with the run starting at 9:15 am. The warm-up and start line can be found at the concession stand at Jericho Beach (map) with the anchor at Spanish Banks as the turn-around point – for those that completing the full 6 km distance. We will have turn-around points marked for those wishing to do 1 km or 4 km distance but feel free to turn around at any point in this non-timed event. Please register now on this website. This will make your day all about fun and minimize the workload on our precious volunteers. We will have a run registration table at Jericho Beach starting at 8:15 am for those spontaneous folk. Cash or personal cheques will be the only run day registration options. This event would not be possible without our run organizers – Shannon Vrlak, Laura Hately, Catherine Watkins and Sara DesBrisay who approached us to offer this run on our behalf. We also thank the tremendous support of the many volunteers and sponsors. Please check out the sponsor’s tables at the event, some of whom are current sponsors of the Streetfront Alternative Program. If cannot make the Family Charity Run but you still want to support the Street2Peak initiative please donate here. See you there!...

In our constant quest for fitness and group bonding, two goals in our training for Kilimanjaro, we recently completed our annual Winter Camp. Once again we utilized the conveniently accessible Scouts cabin in the Hollyburn area of Cypress Provincial Park. The 30 minute hike into the cabin was for some students their first experience carrying in their gear and food. Teamwork was important since the students were arranged into food groups – coming up with their menus, shopping, packaging, cooking and cleaning up after themselves. Many students had little or no grocery budgeting and shopping experience so new skills were obtained. Activities included snowshoeing at Mt. Seymour Provincial Park, snowboarding at Cypress Mountain and many evening group games while relaxing at the cabin. The class once again impressed the staff with their compassion and care for each other, especially when a fellow classmate was injured during snowboarding. We look forward to many more training opportunities, disguised as adventures, as we work towards our epic Kilimanjaro...
