JOIN US FOR RUN 20! OCTOBER 18, 2026
Join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the SHLF Run. This beloved community event has been held in Strachan's name in support of Streetfront. Since 2007, runners, walkers, volunteers, and supporters have come together to create opportunities for youth from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Together, we've raised more than $750,000. Let's make our 20th year the most impactful yet.
Want to learn more about Streetfront? On Episode 8 of the Beyond Your Best podcast, I sat down with Trevor Stokes, a teacher, coach, and community builder at Vancouver's Streetfront Alternative Program. We talked about raising the bar for youth facing poverty and instability, and how belief gets built through integrity, small moments of connection, and the courage to try. It's a great listen before race day.

I'm excited to share that I've joined the advisory board for the Business Transitions Forum in Vancouver on November 18 — and I'd love for you to be there.
After 15 years working with owner-led companies on the people side of value — leadership, culture, the teams that carry your business when you're not in the room — I've seen firsthand how often the human side gets left off the balance sheet. And how much that costs at the table.
The Business Transitions Forum is where that conversation starts early enough to actually matter. I'm on the Vancouver advisory board pushing for a program that takes people and culture as seriously as the financials — because that's what decides whether a deal closes at the number you wanted.
