About the Cause
Street Saviours Outreach Society is a grassroots, secular, all-volunteer non-profit organization made up of a diverse group of community advocates, licensed first responders, individuals in recovery, and healthcare professionals.
Since 2016, our core work has focused on providing emergency overdose response and first aid for people in crisis after most services have closed, helping fill a vital gap in support.
We also support basic needs by offering food, water, socks, and other harm-reduction supplies, including naloxone kits.
Our goal is to maintain a steady, supportive presence in the Downtown Eastside and to be available to help connect individuals with community resources.
Additionally, we act as a trusted point of contact for families by circulating information to assist in locating missing loved ones.

The course begins on the right side of Trout Lake and follows the path counterclockwise around the lake. Runners and walkers will stay on the main park pathway, completing a loop around the lake before finishing back at the start/finish area near the lakeside festival zone.
The race consists of three laps of the same route around Trout Lake, following the course counterclockwise each time.
Accessibility is important to us, and we believe everyone should have the opportunity to participate. If cost is a concern, please contact us at lakeside5kofficial@gmail.com, and we will be happy to discuss available options.
