The current media system in Canada is going through major
transformations with both the fall of traditional journalism and
corporate media and the rise of new social media tools and citizen
journalism. Now is the time to re-imagine and re-invent what we want
Canada’s media to look like. Now is the time to create an innovative
and informative media system for the present and the future – to
celebrate what we have and to create the future of media together.
Now is the time to call upon awesome, energetic and positive people to
help make our media FRESH.
- Why Fresh Media?
Fresh Media – is an event to re-imagine journalism and celebrate the
opportunities for media in the 21st Century. We are the future we’ve
been waiting for and we can create what we want media to be. We will
host 2 events: an afternoon forum on Saturday October 24, 2009
highlighting different forms of media, panels, workshops, showcases
etc. Fresh Media events and The Fresh Media Crew are sponsored by
openmedia.ca (formerly Campaign for Democratic Media).
The purpose of this meeting is to envision the Fresh Media events
slated for Saturday October 24 and Saturday November 7, 2009 and to
bring together an awesome crew of people who would like to have a hand
in orchestrating these fun events that will celebrate the future of
Canada’s media.
We have a star studded crew building here!
Reps from CBC, Suzuki Foundation, TheTyee, W2, OpenMedia.ca/CDM, Canadian University Press and more!

AHA MEDIA is very pleased to welcome The Sennnheiser Sound Tour as they visit W2 in Vancouver
AHA MEDIA is very pleased to welcome The Sennnheiser Sound Tour as they visit W2 in Vancouver
W2 Project located in the Woodward re-development site.
The Sennheiser Sound Tour involves two teams traveling across North America for the summer. The teams are comprised of surfers, models, gamers and photographers. Over the Summer they hit 30+ cities across the U.S. and Canada, bringing the reknown professional sound equipment direct to the people.
The tour is documented with social media tools, with travel adventures uploaded to SennheiserSoundTour.com. They are taking time out to visit W2, an inner-city media centre that has piqued team members interest in how community involvement has developed a state of the art media centre at Woodward’s. W2 is an example of cultural industries supporting job creation for at-risk local youth.
Members of the W2 community team will be on hand to answer questions about the 8,000 sq ft television, radio and new media studios that open winter 2010.
This is an opportunity for the Sennheiser Sound Team to develop, explore and understand the long term planning needs of this important project.
The tour begins at 3:30pm on Friday August 21 at the corner of Cordova and Cambie.
Below is a photo of AHA MEDIA enjoying gelato from the Gelato Shop at 307 Cambie by Cordova. Notice the Woodwards Buildings in the background! 🙂
