Have you heard about the website and storytelling series, Before They Were Grandparents? It was launched in 2011, is supported by Bayshore Home Health Vancouver and essentially it's a tool with which to connect us to the rich history that our grandparents were all a part of by aligning them with us, in real life and online. Here's a video of the first one...

The next one is one week away, Thursday, April 26th, and it's FREE! It will feature stories from locals with a history and passion for sport including Arnie Hallgren (British Columbia's first Major League Baseball Player), Dan Cumming (Marathon runner, writer and blogger), Barry and Louise Soper (Champion Ice Dancers) and Cindy Crapper (Former javelin thrower, Olympic Torch Bearer leader of Vancouver's Sport for Life and Active for Life programs). It's going to be a great afternoon and I hope to see you there.
More info HERE. Oh! And check out this photo of Barry and Louise Soper winning gold at the 1972 Canadian Figure Skating Championship...
