This weekend, over 100 Global Village students (that's right - two full buses of fun!) will be heading up to Whistler for the Telus Ski and Snowboard Festival marking the end of the ski season. There will be a number of cool events happening to coincide with the festival, including free outdoor concerts, pro-level ski/snowboarding shows, bar parties, and giveaway contests!
It will be the last chance to ski or snowboard with the school during the 2011-2012 ski season, and many students are excited by the idea of being able to ski this month and head to the beach next month!
Check out the video below to see some of the festivities from last year's Whistler Ski and Snowboard Festival:

Every year, Global Village students have the opportunity to go to the best Halloween boat cruise party in the city...The GV Halloween Party Cruise this year did not disappoint!

Cowboys and Ninjas...
Gangsters, surgeons and bumblebees...

A video of great memories..
A former Global Village Vancouver student recently made and posted this wonderful video on YouTube to share photos and videos of the wonderful memories he made while he was in Vancouver in 2010 and 2011.
I asked him if I could share it on our blog, since it really captures the spirit of how many of our students spend their time here outside of school hours - they are out meeting people from many cultures, trying new things, experiencing the world in ways that they could only dream about when they were back home...
Nicolas Pimentel, the student who made this video, also posted it on our Facebook Group, with this message:

One last day of Kayaking in 2011
The warm weather just seems to keep coming this summer in Vancouver. It is already almost October and it is still over 20 degrees Celsius outside! Perfect weather for kayaking... but all good things must come to an end.
This is the last month we will be running a kayaking day trip in 2011. Looking forward to enjoying it again in 2012! Check out our pictures below...
