Rainy Day, Good Deed: Umbrella Day Returns To Vancouver

October 28, 2025

Charitable

Need an umbrella and a quick feel-good moment? Vancouver Firefighter Charities is back with its annual Umbrella Day fundraiser on Friday, November 7—selling cozy, VFC-branded umbrellas for $30 and collecting donations across the city from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The best part: every purchase supports VFC’s community programs—Snacks For Kids, Toys For Kids and Sports For Kids—programs that literally brighten rainy days for local families.

Find the firefighters (and the umbrellas) at five major transit hubs: Waterfront Station, City Centre Station, Burrard Street Station, Yaletown–Roundhouse and City Hall Station. Last year’s Umbrella Day raised more than $10,000, and this year marks the eighth edition of the drive—proof that a little shelter goes a long way.

As VFC Executive Director Eric Himmelman says, Umbrella Day turns grey skies into community spirit—grab one on your commute and help support Vancouver kids all season long. —Noa Nichol

    Vi um anúncio enquanto navegava por um site de desporto e fiquei curioso. O que me chamou a atenção no fridayroll casino foi a promessa de bónus generosos para Portugal. A verdade é que as slots são fantásticas e têm mecânicas muito inovadoras. Estava a perder algum dinheiro, mas uma jogada bafejada pela sorte deu-me um retorno que não esperava. Fiquei muito satisfeito com a clareza das regras e a rapidez do site.
