On Sunday, March 8th in Vancouver, a host of community skate groups got together at Strathcona Park to celebrate International Women's Day with the "We're Here!" skate jam. Lessons, prizes, activities, giveaways, and a whole lot of stoke was freely available to anyone that came by. As always, it was heartening to see what a community can do when they stick together.
Carry on down for some great photos from the day, shot by Norma Ibarra.
