Peter Davies, Event Reporter of AHA MEDIA was pleased as punch to receive free sample bottles of Vitamin Water from the Giveaway in front of the London Drugs at the corner of Georgia and Granville Streets in Vancouver.

One great thing of note is that even some familiar Vancouver Downtown Eastside neighbors of ours, were able to enjoy the great free sample bottles of Vitamin Water!

Thanks to Vitamin Water for quenching our thirst on this hot sunny day! 🙂
