Thank you to everyone who joined our Pumpkin Carving Party on Thursday! We had so much fun carving with Chef Nok, four time Thailand National Champion in Fruit Carving and head chef at Sala Thai restaurant on Burrard. In case you missed it, the recorded livestream will be posted on our IGTV.
We will continue to host events and activities for our GEC residents. Please send us your feedback and suggestions in our survey. We hope to see you at our next event!
Talk soon, Danika and Julie
Post your carved pumpkins (jack-o’-lanterns) on Instagram and tag us @gecliving to be entered to win 2 tickets to PNE Slayland, an in-person Halloween event. Tickets are for Friday, October 30.
Here’s how to enter:
Enter by 11:59 pm on October 25. Residents who didn’t participate in the Pumpkin Carving Party can still enter. You must be a GEC resident to win, and the winner will be announced on October 26!
Pumpkins mold due to moisture and shrivel up due to dryness. Check on your pumpkin every day to ensure it’s looking fresh!
Contact us if you would like your pumpkin displayed at our residences. If your pumpkin has rotted, please discard of it in the compost on P1.
GEC and West Trek Social Club will be hosting Pictionary this Thursday. Similar to Charades, Pictionary is a word-guessing game where one player draws a word and the other guesses what it is. Meet other residents in the GEC community and have some fun with silly drawings.
