AHA’s walk in the snowy weather

AHA decided to walk around our area and see how our fellow citizens were doing in the heavy snowfall.

Below is a photo of Hendrik in front of a fantastic drop in centre for our community – Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood House ( DTES NH )

While sitting and chatting with hungry people in the park enjoying their soup and bannock, we noticed music playing in the eating area.  Hidden behind a screen, the speaker was well protected from the elements . One man quipped ” That speaker is doing time”

Even the seagulls crossed the street towards the Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement’s free food lineup.  Where’s there food, there will be seagulls!

So much snow fell, that it almost covered up a Vancouver Police Car.
