Our membership includes balloon artists, face painters, magicians, musicians, ventriloqusts and other children and family entertainers in addition to clowns.  We meet monthly in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.  We participate in 6 to 8 parades around the lower mainland each year as well.  Balloon Jams:  We also get together monthly to practise balloon sculpture and socialize in a little cafe in White Rock.  We give our creations to the children who are there.  Maybe we can teach you to make a flower or a cat? Our members are dedicated to networking and mentoring.  We help each other.  At our meetings we will share our knowledge of marketing and advertising, magic, face-painting, balloon sculpture, juggling and everything else.

We have no secrets; believing that if one entertainer looks better, we all look better.

The Raincoast Clown Troupe was founded in 2002. Some of our members also belong to Alley #379 of Clowns of America International. This “alley” was formally established in 2005. As of 2010, some of our members belong to Alley #24952 of the World Clown Association as well.
