CoDevelopment Canada is nonprofit, international solidarity organization that works for social change and global education in the Americas. Founded in 1985 by a group of activists who wanted to go beyond financial aid, CoDev builds partnerships between like-minded organizations in Canada and Latin America to foster learning, social change, and community empowerment. These partnerships educate Canadians about Latin America and allow them to directly support the region. Such connections build solidarity, mutual understanding and ultimately improve prospects for a fairer global order. To learn more, visit www.codev.org

Coast Mental Health has been helping people recover from mental illness since 1972. We operate 54 locations throughout Greater Vancouver and provide services to over 5,000 individuals annually. Coast Mental Health’s care is based on three pillars:

- Housing: We take a “housing first” approach. Coast Mental Health connects people living with chronic mental illness or addictions with secure housing as an essential part of their recovery. Today, we provide a continuum of residential care services to almost 1,500 people at 54 sites throughout the lower mainland.

- Support services: Through our support services, we help clients build on their strengths, access existing government and community resources, manage their health, and live richer lives.

- Employment/education: Our employment and educational programs boost self-confidence, add meaning to client’s lives, and improve financial independence.

Established in 1989, Coastal Research, Education, and Advocacy Network empowers vulnerable low-income and racialized youth through research, education, and advocacy.

Our community-based research informs our services, with the intention of deepening connections and improving the lives of youth, families, and their communities. We work closely with residents and community leaders in British Columbia and Ontario to advocate, both locally and nationally, on behalf of youth to make our province a better place to live.

A coding camp started by Timila, a high school student in BC, seeking to spread her knowledge of coding and programming to anyone and everyone, but specifically targeted at middle school level students.

Coding Pals Foundation is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to providing high-quality computer programming instruction to help expose students to code. With most schools lacking the necessary resources to teach students how to program, Coding Pals hopes to bridge that gap and provide essential programming tutorials and lessons.

This is without a doubt the most scenic race within BC’s Lower Mainland. Join us on this one of a kind ‘beach to bridge to beach to bridge to beach’ run.

This incredible point to point 14 km journey starts from Kitsilano Beach, takes you past the Maritime Museum and the Pacific Space Centre along the seawall, then over the Burrard Street Bridge along the English Bay seawall to Second Beach in Stanley Park, and finally, over the Lion’s Gate Bridge and into Ambleside Beach Park to the birthplace of the North Shore Coho salmon.

The 14K distance provides a great challenge for the 10K runner and a fabulous training run for the ½ marathon trainer. Please note the Coho Run is capped at 700 participants, so be sure to grab your spot early.

At the finish line you will enter into the Coho Festival site where you will have the opportunity to participate in this annual festival celebrating the return of the Coho Salmon to the North Shore. Festival activities include environmental displays, visual arts exhibitions, entertainment by local and visiting performers, and of course the famous Salmon Barbeque.

All net proceeds of this event help to support salmon enhancement projects including stream stewardship.
