For more than 20 years, Van Trac worked at the heart of China's booming IT outsourcing industry, delivering solutions for some of the world's biggest names: Volkswagen, MGM and the Venetian Macau, Expedia, Siemens, and more ...across gaming, tourism, healthcare, automotive, and heavy manufacturing. Then, three years ago, everything changed when Van's mother needed surgery and he had to return to Canada. In caring for her, he saw a challenge facing families everywhere: how to care for aging parents while juggling work, distance, and the demands of everyday life? That question sparked something bigger and Van set out to build a practical way for families to stay connected - SafeLink Senior Smart Watch: technology designed specifically with seniors in mind. SafeLink is more than just a high-tech gadget; it's smart technology that keeps seniors active, empowered, and safe by being connected to their families, caregivers, and community support system. Van will take us behind the scenes by demonstrating SafeLink's features live, and sharing the real story of how he got it to work, with all the challenges and the breakthroughs along the way. |

Have you ever seen painted wooden fish on park fences and wondered why? Twenty-six years ago, a pollution event in a Burnaby creek pushed an artist and local streamkeepers to team up on an idea: teach kids that every storm drain leads to fish habitat, then let them paint what they learn. That first mural sparked a movement — over 200,000 children across Canada have since taken part. Today the Society runs three programs: Fish on Fences, its flagship watershed art program; Street to Sea, which turns students into stewards of their own school communities; and free day camps offering environmental and cultural education for Indigenous children. Join Krystal Brennan, the Stream of Dreams Murals Society's Administrator since 2016, for the rest of the story. With a BSc in Ecological Restoration, she brings real stream-ecology knowledge to the Society's blend of environmental education and art. ✅ Everyone is invited to attend (Rotarians, guests, friends, and community members). 🕒 From 4:30pm - 6pm.
