Carnaval Del Sol—the largest Latin carnival in the Pacific Northwest—floods False Creek with dazzling performances, unforgettable food, awesome art and even a Street World Cup Soccer Tournament. Get swept up in Samba Fusion’s (pictured) Brazilian Samba–inspired moves, Wil Campa’s 13-piece Afro-Cuban band, Las Estrellas de Vancouver’s intoxicating mariachi music, and other acts from Puerto Rico to Argentina. With cooking demos, Zumba and drumming workshops, there are lots of ways to keep the salsa in your step for weeks to come.

Metropolis at Metrotown is hosting 1600 Pandas World Tour and we need volunteers to help exhibit the Pandas launch. This is an excellent opportunity for the students to volunteer and gain work experience. It is perfect place for students who are interested in opting for Marketing, Tourism, work in a Non-Profit Organization as their future career and gain skills. They can add hours to their work experience, especially if students have less work experience hours for graduating. Students can finish 15 hours in 5 weeks even if they take 1 shift/week. Volunteers have flexibility in the choice of the day and time.
