They carry an extensive selection of unique, gourmet, natural, and organic products, and many new and innovative items from local sources, both big and small. And we're thrilled that Stong's Market continues to expand across Metro Vancouver with stores in North Vancouver, Vancouver/Dunbar, and Surrey (NEW), with one of their incredible STEMS by Stong's flower shops just around the corner!

Hunger lives in our neighbourhood, but it doesn’t have to be this way. We can turn hunger into hope for children in our BC communities with Backpack Buddies. The Healthy Family Living team has a goal of supporting 40 backpacks of food for local families in 2026 from partial proceeds of ticket sales from celebrations like this one. Each bag of food contains 9 meals, plus fresh fruit and snacks, so that a child has enough to eat over the weekend, plus a couple of extra meals for the week ahead. Be a local #hungerhero and support children in our community!
