AHA MEDIA attended the annual event Christmas in January held at VCC! Hundreds of hungry DTES residents were treated to a turkey dinner with all the trimmings and deluxe desserts!  MANY THANKS to VCC and their partners for sponsoring this event! The DTES really appreciates it and we’re blessed in knowing that someone cares so much even after the holiday season is done.

AHA MEDIA is proud to present Sean Winter!

January 18, 2009 Leave a comment

AHA MEDIA met Sean Winter again and now that we have our site, we’re pleased and proud to present Sean Winter to our online audience.

Sean is a young saxophone player extraordinare!!  He resides in our neighborhood and is a welcome and friendly presence in the area. You may have heard him play a variety of styles of songs in Gastown, usually situated by the restaurant Chill Winston and the Gassy Jack statue. 

Sean is a busy man but still makes time to play for the folks on the street. He is a rare type of musician that still engages with the public  to help enliven and contribute positively to our area  ! 

 AHA MEDIA  believes he’s going to be a fantastic  success in his life and if you have a chance, stop by in Gastown and listen to him play 🙂

 AHA MEDIA supports  the arts and LIVE instrumental music especially our local talent!
