It is the time of year when we all need a break from our academic routine to just relax and have some fun. This is one of the best opportunities to hang out and enjoy the outdoors.
This year’s west coast winter, which may have been windy and wet, lasted until the end of April. The CNC staff had been waiting for a good reason to organise an outside event for quite some time, and since it was predicted to be sunny the next day, we made a last-minute picnic event. Although it was surprising to hear the rain on the window in the morning, it stopped raining and got warmer in the afternoon, as if the weather was celebrating our school event!
We went to Harbour Green Park in Coal Harbour. We took a path along the sea wall, passing by Canada Place. Students, particularly those who had recently arrived in Canada, enjoyed seeing the Sea Bus sail to North Vancouver and the sea aircraft take off and land.
This event provided an excellent opportunity for students who began the programme at different times to get to know one another. Students enjoyed playing catch and Frisbees on a beautiful grass area. We also had pizza and a snack with pops next to the spray park. The administrative team was delighted to chat with many students, sharing our experiences in Canada as newcomers.
Though it was a quick and brief outdoor event, this spring picnic event allowed students, instructors, and staff to get to know one another and enjoy the sunshine. We were thrilled to present them with a lovely area where they could enjoy the gorgeous summer in Vancouver.
We hope to organise another school event this summer!
