On the eve of the Olympics: Anticipation, excitement, anger, frustration: I feel as though I’m in one of those ambitious liberal-arts programs put on by progressive colleges where, for an entire term, there’s a grand theme and all of life’s questions are filtered through that.

Why Does Woodwards Matter?: Long before the redevelopment of the Woodward’s building was completed—to offer a mix of market and social housing reinvigorating Vancouver’s oldest neighborhood—there were skeptics of the plan; not least from the potential buyers: “I got a call from a guy who was fr...

Free concert at Robson Square by Yuca: I was roaming the streets of downtown Vancouver with Emme Rogers after the opening of the House of Switzerland, and we ended up staying at Robson Square to catch a little bit of the concert that Yuca offered as part of the Cultural Olympiad.
