Because Dignity is Beautiful
Since the tender age of 11, Laura took giving back to a whole new level. This year, she spearheaded the movement that had over ten schools and hundreds of volunteers involved in knitting scarves for Beauty Night participants. On November 22nd and Christmas Eve, volunteers walked through the streets in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside handing out scarves to people who needed to be warm.

With the cold Halloween over, Knit Fit has realized that this winter season is going to be a cold one. Knit fit is knitting in full gear, working to reach the goal of 200. But this goal was already surpassed when Chief Maquinna Elementary knitted a remarkable amount of 260 scarves! So our new goal has been set to 400! But this cannot be done without the help of our community and friends. Thank you to everyone who is working with us to accomplish this goal. Knit Fit is always looking for new volunteers. Join us on our next session which will be held on November 8 from 1-3pm at Britannia Community Centre. New knitters are always welcomed. See you there!
