The Vancouver Whitecaps have teamed up with a local artist to raise money for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank through the sale of a limited edition art print.
The print, titled “It Takes A Village,” depicts Vancouver’s 7 p.m. nightly salute for health-care workers and others working on the frontlines.
Created by acclaimed local artist Carson Ting, the print features provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and sign-language interpreter Nigel Howard.
A closer look reveals glimpses of prominent British Columbians such as Ryan Reynolds, Seth Rogen and Steve Nash. The title of the print is a nod to famed ABC sportscaster Jim McKay, who said during the Whitecaps 1979 NASL playoff run that “Vancouver must be like a deserted village right now.”
