Every single artist representing Sunshine and Songs truly shines. It is a squad made up of talented, kind individuals dedicated to making magic and upholding character integrity. Detailed costumes, well-thought out itineraries, and adaptive entertainment are all hallmarks of Sunshine and Songs. The squad works together to bring magic to guests via parties, events, and of course volunteerism. They genuinely care about spreading joy, environmentalism, hope, heroism, bravery, and kindness.
Behind the scenes, many hours go into the curation of characters, the training of the squad, and the overall design of each event experience. Every wig is touched up or fully restyled after every event. Every costume is carefully maintained and supplies chosen carefully. We appreciate you for valuing the extra efforts we always give to every single event.
Cassandra is the human behind the mermaid. The shine in Sunshine and songs.
After graduating from UFV with a Bachelors in Theatre and Geography in 2013, Cassandra pursued her second degree in teaching. It was during this time that Cassandra first began performing as characters. She created a program from scratch and over the past 12 years, she has worked hard to fine-tune her skills to create magic with over 100 different characters.
Cassandra has been working with children and volunteering nearly her entire life. She has been a member of Scouts Canada, Girl Guides of Canada, Miss World, Rotary, and she has partnered with many other charity organizations. She is an environmental steward, an active blood donor, and ongoing volunteer for Make a Wish.
During the school year, Cassandra teaches Music, art, performance to children in kindergarten to grade 5. She is also a professional mermaid.
Cassandra's goal is to spread sunshine all over the Lower Mainland and Vancouver through meaningful character interactions, magical moments and shining events. Along the way, Cassandra is proud to work with the Sunshine Squad, volunteering and providing further charitable actions through the Sunshine Fund.
