Keep Vancouver Spectacular returns May 29th!
Come help us “Keep Vancouver Spectacular,” or should we say "Keep Mountain View Spectacular"? Join in our annual, local clean-up day and help pick up litter and debris found in our streets and in the lanes. Just show up as early as you can between 9 - 10am on Saturday at the corner of East 27th Avenue & Prince Albert Street.
Your contact will be Jackie, or 2010 KVS coordinator. She'll give you need – gloves, tongs, bags – any tools to help tidy up our neighbourhood.
Why do we do this? One reason is for our community. It's a simple way to show your neighbourhood spirit, and get out to meet folks. It's also a great way to know what's happening around here.
We hope to see you Saturday morning. Kids definitely welcome!!

We would need 5 participants (minimum) to offer the class.
What you need:

If you have any questions about the class, check out Daniella’s website. The class is geared to all fitness levels!! More info: www.survivorbootcamp.com

New murals in Mountain View
A proud new addition to the murals in Mountain View. This one is on East 27th & Fraser.
We're excited to show off our third new community mural. In fact, we want to talk a whole lot more about Mountain View's murals. New ones are now painted at 33rd & Knight Street (by local artist Jeannie Kamins), 28th & Fraser and 27th & Fraser (seen above).
Last year we had a mural done on a wall at 26th & Fraser.
We'll get out and take a few photos and show them off here soon.
