Vancouver Is Awesome, and we are dedicated to everything that makes it that way.

If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; V.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything inbetween. We’re like the human interest piece on the news… only different.

We are a federally incorporated non-profit organization (learn more HERE). Please consider making a donation to help us keep doing what we do.

THANK YOU!

drive-is-over

Despite a slow start we hammered you for the past ten days with reasons why we really needed you to donate to our not-for-profit. We cranked up our efforts and I am happy to say that in the end so did you! If you personally made a donation then you are partly responsible for keeping our positive vision alive and we appreciate it BIGTIME. THANK YOU!

Over the coming days we’ll be mailing out your pin packs/bumper stickers and doing draws for the raffle prizes. If you win something we will contact you by e-mail and… well… you actually just did win something: We’ve decided that everybody who donated during the drive will also be put on the guest list for our Flickn Awesome party that’s happening next week, so we can all celebrate how you’ve helped V.I.A. keep the lights on into 2010!

Thanks again, Vancouver! V.I.A. literally owes it’s life to you, the kind folks who have helped keep it alive.

If you’re coming in late to the donor drive and would still like to donate then fret not, you can click the button below to make a late donation. You won’t be entered into the raffle to win any of the prizes but you will be helping us out, and that would be really awesome of you. And if you didn’t notice it before, the DONATE button has always lived on the site and it will always live on the site, so in the future if you’ve ever got some extra cash to donate to the cause, please do not hesitate to give it a click.
