Sun Eagles, last year called ( Dream Catchers)  just came back from Toronto’s Homeless Street Soccer World Cup and are rebuilding again after  unsuccessfully defending their National Championship where they won Gold last year.

The team known as the Dream Catchers renamed the Sun Eagles  will now build on this defeat with an eye for recapturing the championship.

Their dream is to make the Sun Eagles soar again and bring Homeless Street Soccer World Cup to Vancouver to host!

AHA MEDIA found the walk a delightful  blend of a historical tour and a theatrical performance.  It was like taking part of a National Film Board of Canada documentary but in real time and experience 🙂

Miss Guides 1C

A unique blend of historical tour and street theatre, this one hour walk will make you experience Vancouver as though for the first time.  Using the city as their stage, The Miss Guides will lead you through the gritty underbelly of a city teeming with secrets.

Miss Guides 1B

 From glamour to grime, Walking the Ruins explores four surprising urban sites, drawing unexpected connections between the forgotten past and overlooked present.

Miss Guides 1D

Audiences are limited to 12 adults, and groups meet on the Northwest corner of Granville and Hastings Streets, in front of Sinclair Centre, rain or shine ( bring an umbrella )
