Canada 26 April : Squamish, Vancouver

We launched our day's activities at the Squamish Adventure Centre. From there, we ran to Squamish Montessori School where we were greeted by lots of smiling kids and their super enthusiastic teachers!

The torch was passed as we ran around the field before heading back inside. We watched the World Harmony Run DVD and then played the "flag game" where everyone has to guess which countries the different flags are from.

School staff member, Michelle Gray was celebrating her birthday! We gave her a t-shirt and sang her "Happy Birthday".



Our next stop was Mamquam Elementary School where all the students were singing a song about oneness as we entered the gym. It sounded so great we didn't want it to end! They had all made paper doves with flapping wings which they proudly showed us.


A few girls performed a skit on "Ben's Bells"- started by a family in Tucson who lost their son. They created strings of bells with clay shapes to be hung on trees to symbolise hope and love. It has since spread all over the world. They were really good actresses, even the girls playing trees and bushes!

They created some fantastic displays in the hallway including song lyrics, drawings and a "recipe for harmony".


The coordinators are always busy working out the details- even while running!

Our good friend Abhijit took us out for lunch and then we ran to a beautiful waterfall. We tested our lung capacity with a steep climb up the side!




In the evening we visited the incredible Gandharva Loka World Music Store on Granville Island.
