Every Wednesday our friends at The Georgia Straight give us something new to share with you here on the blog: a preview of what you'll see on the front of - and inside - their paper the next day. As you likely already know, they're the source for lifestyle and entertainment stories in Vancouver. Along with their robust online presence they release a printed publication which is distributed all over Vancouver every Thursday.
This issue is the 2,417th, the theme is Earth Day and articles focus on climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, provincial parks, B.C. liquefied natural gas, and whale and dolphin captivity at the Vancouver Aquarium. HERE is a portal to some of the stories and below are some links to stories you can check out before you grab the physical paper:
