8th VAN-PAH Birthday
For those not in the know, VAN-PAH first started 8 years ago on the 12th of July 2012, the process that led to the founding of our PAH community here in Vancouver.
It all started over an Italian meal, a movie, and then home.
To celebrate this year we’ll be doing the same thing (albeit virtually). First, we’ll cook dinner together: Spaghetti Bolognese. The recipe we’ll be following is below.
The Movie that helped start it all was the Disney movie Bolt. This seems a fitting choice for our PAH on this very special weekend, as we repeat the original beginnings by our founding Puppies & Handlers.
Finally, Sir J will read a bedtime story to end the night.
Due to COVID-19, we are unable to spend it together, so having a very special movie night on our sofas is a very fitting way in which to come together as a family and enjoy the evening the best way we can.
Dinner, Movie, and a Bedtime story.
VAN-PAH is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Vancouver Virtual Pride
All though we are sad we are unable to march with pride and in person. The Vancouver Pride Society has been quoted directly from their website.
”Pride is more than a parade or a festival–it is a feeling, not a physical space–which is why Pride can not be cancelled, only re-imagined.”
-VPS, 2020.
To that end, we are going virtual. We are still awaiting further details from VPS and as soon as we have the information, we will get that information to you.
Thank you for filling out the Pride Survey a few weeks ago. We felt that the members should have the final say in how we allocated the pride donation. As such we were able to donate 85% of our original deposit to VPS.
The remaining 15% will go back into the membership funds to be used at a later date.
Paw and Pounce
Don’t forget to save the dates!
