CBC Vancouver hosted its 32nd annual Open House and Food Bank Day on Friday — a wonderful time of the year for us in the newsroom when we get to swing open the doors and invite the audience in to take a tour of the building and meet hosts, reporters and production crew.
From practising the weather forecast on the green screen to getting a seat at the anchor desk, hundreds of people — young and and old — streamed through our studios to find out how the news is made.
Thanks to your generosity, as of Saturday morning, we raised $714,029 for food banks across the province.
Help us beat last year's record breaking fundraising record of $802,049.
Before you scroll through this year's highlights, be sure to share your photos with us just use the hashtag #CBCOpenHouse on social media.
