First time ever leaving the neighbourhood. I remember the teens and young leaders who worked with us. I remember this one very pretty girl leader. Back then there was no such thing as hotness. Horny came later in life, LOL.
Driving around the Strathcona area now, I notice it has changed so much. Not many kids and lots of homeless and way more First Nations folks than there used to be. I also noticed some yuppies....... strange the neighbourhood is now.

Lol my elementary school changed so much can't find any pics of it but the building was quite an eyesore, now it's some modern looking townhouse complex. (st francis xavier on princess ave. and e. georgia if anyone remembers) The area is definitely really nice now which is weird considering how close it is to the docks, homeless shelters and food kitchens, skid row, chinatown, etc.
