Past Events
The days we shared still echo here.
Classes, outings, volunteer days, small memories — each one became part of our community story.
This is not just an archive of events.
It is a record of how people met, showed up, learned, laughed, helped, and slowly became a community.
Vancouver Shengmi Community Society was formally established in March 2026. Some memories come with exact dates. Some come with laughter, music, kindness, and the feeling of being together.
After March 2026

Member-Led Community Projects
Projects initiated by Vancouver Shengmi members, with members also leading the community grant applications, then made possible with funding and support from community partners.
Slowing Down Together in the Park
A sunny Baduanjin and qigong morning where 22 neighbours stretched, breathed, and let a park become a small community space.
