Introduction to the Vancouver 

Emergency Program 

When disaster strikes, ESS volunteers will be relied 

upon to provide assistance to those who have displaced. 

In Vancouver, ESS training is provided by the Justice 

Institute of BC and volunteers are trained in the operation 

of reception centres and group lodging facilities. When 

activated, these centres will provide basic essential 

needs to evacuees such as food, clothing, lodging, 

pet services, and other required services. In addition, 

volunteers have the option of participating with a variety 

of committees such as the Pet, Public Education, 

Amateur Radio and Exercise Planning committees which 

work to further develop the Vancouver ESS Team.

as well as learn the basic mindfulness concepts and

Bermuda Triangle (All Levels) 

Do you buy your shirts two sizes too big? Tie your 

sweater around your waist? Avoid tucking in your shirt? 

Come and regain your confidence about your waistline! 

I developed the Bermuda Triangle based on the regular 

question from my participants; What can I do about 

my waist? The question was so frequent that I thought 

it’s like a mystery for people; they want to change the 

shape of their body but don’t know how. The Bermuda 

Triangle was born. I imagined a triangle, the top point at 

your chin and the bottom ending at your knees. We work 

everything within the triangle: the mid-section, chest & 

back, thighs, and buttocks. Work hard and watch your 

own natural “girdle” pull your waistline in! You will also be 

given easy exercises to take home with you that you can 

fit into your everyday life. Drop-in $14. No class Oct 6 &

regular gym work-out? 

Tired of getting lost at

studio? Looking for an 

exercise routine that 

can reduce your dress 

size instead of bulking 

muscles out? Try The 

CALLANETICS Exercise Method! You’ll feel and see 

spectacular results within hours! The unique program 

promotes deep muscle tone throughout the entire body 

increasing flexibility, strength and improving posture. This 

exceptional form of exercise uses precise positioning to 

isolate specific muscle groups. This combined with tiny 

yet powerful movements cause the muscles to work at 

a deep level recruiting more muscle fibers. More muscle 

fibers recruited means quick toning and results that you 

can feel and see within hours. CALLANETICS is a nonimpact 

exercise program, therefore you won’t experience 

the bouncing and jarring found in high-impact activities 

such as aerobics or jogging. Each muscle group is 

warmed, worked and then stretched to ensure total body 

health increasing strength, flexibility and body alignment.
