Monday, April 18 was a gorgeous day for soccer. That afternoon players and volunteers with the Vancouver Street Soccer league met up with Vancouver police officers at Trillium for a fun kick around tournament. The teams were joined by City Councillor (and goalie extraordinaire) Andrea Reimer as well as Mayor Gregor Robertson.
At the end of the games, the VPD treated everyone to foot-long subway sandwiches. Thanks to VSSL photographer Theo Terry for snapping some great pictures.
The Vancouver Street Soccer League is a volunteer-run organization which reaches out to individuals who have been homeless, are currently homeless, or are at risk of homelessness, as well as individuals who feel marginalized within their communities, or are recovering from drug and alcohol addictions. We address the issue of homelessness, marginalization, and addiction through inclusivity and soccer – believing we can enhance all of our lives through the principles of Fair Play, Community Building, Supportive Partnerships, and Health and Safety.
