On any given day the Whole Foods stores are busy places, so we can expect this event to be popular.  Since the Cambie store is located between the Olympic Village and Broadway Skytrain stations, commuters from the downtown can easily pop by on their way home from work or a day out.   The event will be a wonderful opportunity to meet your neighbours from the community and to chat with people you don’t know.  Food is a great conversation starter!
