Members of First United took in Olympic events through the generosity of VANOC which supplied us with tickets to events like the preliminary rounds of men’s and women’s hockey, curling and the Victory Ceremonies. Seeing this as an opportunity to build community across socio-economic lines, First made available tickets to wider community volunteers, staff and residents of the Downtown Eastside. Groups of people all wearing their yellow Share the Gold scarves travelled together to the venues and applauded and cheered on their favourite teams. It was a wonderful opportunity to work on building a community at the margins in which there are no margins. Together we were just rabid sports fans!
