GoodLife Fitness Marathon
As you may know, over the past several years we have entered a large group of staff, individuals and volunteers in the GoodLife fitness Marathon to raise money for Lifetime Networks.
Year after year, this has proven to be a great fundraiser for Lifetime Networks and a great example of inclusion!
You can participate in the 8km, half marathon, full marathon, or if you are a Parent or Grandparent you can enter children in the 1km kids run too!
I encourage you to enter to run\walk and be a part of our team.
We also need volunteers so if you would rather hang out at the finish line or cheer stations we can use you!
Please contact [email protected] if you wish to volunteer.
When you register to run it will walk you through setting up an on-line fundraising page. Please remember to sign up to be a part of the Lifetime Networks Urban Runners Team.

Historic Accessible Canada Act Tabled in Parliament
New Westminster, B.C., June 20, 2018 -The Accessible Canada Act was passed today in Ottawa, marking an historic day for people with disabilities across Canada.
Bill C-81 The Accessible Canada Act: An Act to Ensure a Barrier-free Canada was introduced to Parliament by the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities.
Read the Government of Canada news release here.
The Canadian Association for Community Living (our national federation) has responded to the announcement. Read their release here.
Inclusion BC Executive Director Faith Bodnar says, “The new Accessible Canada Act is a watershed for our country as it sets out the expectation and presumption of inclusion for Canadians with disabilities. The Act will propel Canada forward as we reach our goal of being a truly inclusive country that values all citizens, while also ensuring that they have access to supports and services they need.”
The act aims to create a barrier-free Canada “through the proactive identification, removal, and prevention of barriers to accessibility wherever Canadians interact with areas under federal jurisdiction.”
