Solidarity Notes Labour Choir is a group of activists who know that music is more than pleasurable sound: it is a powerful language that educates, connects and reminds us of our strength and history. The ongoing struggle for labour and human rights has produced music that inspires and reconnects us to hope and possibility. Solidarity Notes sings at rallies, picket lines, performances, memorials and sky train stations, throughout Vancouver and other spots in the Lower Mainland wherever the message is needed.

This event was on  Day 5  of the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!

AHA MEDIA for Heart of the City Festival 2014

The Festival is thrilled to partner with the DTES’s AHA Media to provide social media coverage (video/photos/blog) of the Heart of the City Festival. AHA Media gives voice to our local community and provides services for individuals and organizations to share their news and special events on a broader scale through social media. Founded in 2008 by local artists April Smith, Hendrik Beune, and Al Tkatch, AHA Media previously collaborated with Fearless City Media and has an ongoing working relationship with W2Community Media Arts and various other organizations and individuals in the DTES community. The members of AHA Media describe themselves as “definitely not mainstream media”. Based in Vancouver’s DTES, their style is described as non-invasive and unassuming.
