Vendors Chreece & Dave at the Hope in Shadows sign-making workshop November 10. They sell at Georgia & Granville or Burrrard Street.
A sign making workshop was run at LifeSkills Community Centre on November 10. About 20 Hope in Shadows vendors made Christmas themed signs which they hope will attract customers.
Concentration was high for the Each One, Teach One financial literacy workshop.
The magic of Hope in Shadows training is its simplicity and accessibility - come to an orientation session and learn how to sell the calendar in an hour.
