AHA MEDIA is very proud to celebrate its Second Birthday and Second Year Anniversary online on Thursdayday November 11, 2010
Dear friends, family and fans of AHA MEDIA
We are very happy to share with you that AHA MEDIA online has turned 2 years! This joyous occasion is to be celebrated with some cake and champagne, so please enjoy with us!
We’ve had a full and very enriching year learning, growing, working, collaborating and being part of something greater in Vancouver and Downtown Eastside!
When AHA MEDIA works as Fearless City Mobile project participants from W2 Community Media Arts Centre, we peer train others in our Downtown Eastside (DTES) neighbourhood on media literacy and help bridge the digital divide in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside, most recently through our DTES CAMP
AHA MEDIA is very proud and honored to be in the documentary film With Glowing Hearts
We are proud to continue to grow everyday and help document/report from social justice issues , community festivals and social media events!
AHA MEDIA enjoys providing an independent and alternative perspective to general main stream media views. Through our new media devices and cameraphones, we hope to be a news resource for everyone who is interested in us.
We appreciate everyone and all the times we were able to help in providing our services!
We look forward to another great year with you!
Thanks very much! 🙂

To many people the Downtown Eastside is an intimidating place: a dangerous, dirty, drug-infested ‘hood patrolled by pimps, pushers, prostitutes and police.
But there are also poets, painters and patrons of the arts in the mix. And spend some time chatting with residents in the area’s animated streets and you’ll discover a tenacious camaraderie unmatched in the Lower Mainland.
Celebrating that community’s culture, heritage and distinct character, the seventh annual Heart of the City Festival — running from today to Nov. 7 — features 80 events at more than 25 venues throughout the neighbourhood. Festival artistic producer Terry Hunter likens it to an open house. And if that makes him a de facto sales agent, well, he knows every nook and cranny: as a DTES [Downtown Eastside] resident and executive director of the Vancouver Moving Theatre, Hunter has lived and worked in the area since 1975.
“It’s a great community with a great spirit,” he says. “It’s a community that’s always fought for its rights … there’s a quote in the program guide where one of the poets [Na, Megwich] says, ‘I love the Downtown Eastside community because of its beauty and its strength, its refusal to shut up and its insistence upon justice.’
