Each and every Wednesday our friends at The Georgia Straight give us a preview of what you’ll see on - and in – their paper the next day. They are the source for lifestyle and entertainment stories in our city and along with their robust online presence they release a printed version which is distributed all over Vancouver each Thursday.
This issue is the 2,435th and on the cover this week is “Spray Kings”. Renowned Brazilian street artists Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo, aka OSGEMEOS, are creating their largest public mural on Granville Island.
There’s also a package of education-themed stories. In their back-to-school issue, they cover postsecondary entrepreneurship programs, Bitcoin on campuses, training of psychiatric nurses, and curbing gender-based violence.
HERE is their education package of features.
