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.

Happy Tails – BCSPCA Kids summer camp

September 15, 2011

The Vancouver Is Awesome Inc not-for-profit is happy to announce it’s partnership with Novus TV to bring you a weekly segment called Happy Tails, focusing on the BC SPCA and the animals they’ve currently got up for adoption. You may already have a four-legged friend who’s been featured in our Dogtown or Van City Kitty features but if you don’t or you’re looking for another pet in your life the SPCA is the perfect place to look.

The Pets of the Week are Frick and Frack! Check them out in the video below!

Check back mid week every other week for a new Happy Tails segment!

Happy Tails Nominated for a Leo Award!

May 16, 2011

The Happy Tails segment that we co-sponsor has been nominated for a 2011 Leo Award for Best Web Series! Congratulations to producers Rory Blanchard, Matt Grant, Leon Ng, Anthony Bortolussi, Corrin Skalbeck and Vivien Chuang for producing such a great series and bringing awareness to the BCSPCA!

Below is the latest episode in case you missed it. Click HERE for the archive.

I’d also like to note that this is two years running for Vancouver Is Awesome Inc co-sponsoring a series that wound up as a contender for a Leo Award for Best Web Series! In 2010 our friends who produced the hilarious comedy series, Mental Beast, were up for one. What’s it going to be next year? Is Giants Of The Forest eligible?
